OSLO, Norway, April 4 (UPI) -- Opera and ballet are the least favorite cultural activities for nearly one in four Norwegians, a survey indicated.

The opinion poll, administered by Synovate for the Forum for Culture and Business, found that 23 percent of respondents ranked the two performance arts equally in the lowest spot on a cultural activities list, Aftenposten reported Friday.

Sixteen percent said they hated marching bands, while another 16 percent put standup comedians at the bottom of their list of must-see entertainment.
