Thank you.
Yahoo! has compiled a list of the top ten search results of 2005, which should be fairly interesting, considering all the war, disaasters, congressional scandals, technology breakthroughs, and re-runs of American Idol this year has enjoyed. Over at ArsTechnica, Ken "Caesar" Fisher took at look at Yahoo!s (Yahoos? Yahoo!'s?) results, and provides some insightful commmentary.
Are you ready for the number one search term of 2005?
You, in back, shuddap! No, it's not Iraq. It's not health care, it's not anything of weighty importance. It's not even Xbox 360. No, dear friends, it's Britney Spears. This, good gentleman and gentleladies, is the American dream: take two parts lackluster talent, three tablespoons of whiney, bitchy crap, add a freeloader for a husband, an ounce of weed, stir in a baby, and you have the most sought-after thing the 'net has to offer. Search me baby, one more time takes the top spot in web searches, the top spot in video searches, but slips to number three behind the buxom Jessica Simpson (#2) and vacuous shell of Paris Hilton (#3) in the images category.
In a perfect example of what is wrong with America, Natalee Halloway ranks above Afghanistan and Hurricaine Katrina, and right behind the Michael Jackson Trial in news searches. If you'd like to see how far we've, uh, progressed in a year, Yahoo! also has a link to the top searches of 2004, proving once and for all that Americans are obsessed with vacuous media whores and reality television.
So what were you searching for in 2005?
