Further Proof...
...that the world is utterly, irrevocably whacked.
Okay, actually it's proof that the people in the world that are utterly whacked. I mean, I was wrong: it's not just Brazil after all.

Really, the headline says everything that needs to be said: Please, People, Stop Typing Britney Spears Into Search Boxes
I'll say it again: FUCKING STOP TYPING BRITNEY SPEARS INTO SEARCH BOXES.
Typical conversation for me:
Them: "Did you see where Britney-"
Me: "SHUT UP! Who cares?"
Them: "..."
But Them's right, and I'm wrong. It's not "Who cares?" It's apparently, "Who doesn't care?"
Am I really the only person on the planet who's never typed "Britney Spears" into a search engine?
Emma Watson, sure...
Now on to #2: WWE.
WTF is WWE? I thought to myself. I've never heard of that, but if it comes up #2 on Yahoo! searches, maybe I'm missing something obvious, so... let's give that term just one more hit.
...Rasslin'?
Rasslin' gets more hits than Paris Hilton? I don't THINK so. And I mean that exactly how it sounds.
That takes care of 2 and 3, but what's that "Naruto" thing at #4? Again, I pander to popular culture by merely searching for it:
Ah. It's about a ninja. That's okay, then.
Then I got to #5 and my mind shut down, so I'll stop there. |
