I've just been introduced to something awesome (and if you know me, you know I don't just throw around the word "awesome".)
*WARNING: Unless you are a nerd you will not find the rest of this blog interesting.* OK, you might.
Go to the following link. Google Trends
This google function allows you to see exactly where in the world people have googled certain phrases the most. For instance, Denver is 1st in searching the phrase "Fuck Bush". We can only assume how most of the people meant that.
What follows is a list of locations and what phrase is searched for more there than anywhere else.
-Congratulations to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. You're number 1 in searches for the phrase "jetpack". Don't worry Paolo. We'll find a way out of Santo Domingo one day.
-Los Angeles is 1st in searches for the phrase "Hootenanny"? um OK?
-Minneapolis. Home to the most searches for "Police Brutality" in the world. Yay!
-Sheffield in the UK is home to the most people who want to know more about "Ghostbusters". What's really weird is the fact that the top 4 places searching for info on the Ghostbusters were all in the UK. What's happening over there guys?
-Nanjing, Xian, Wuhan, Chengdu, Shanghai, and Hangzhou. What do these places have in common? They're all in China and they're the top 6 places in the world where people are the most curious about "Bigfoot".
-The #1 place people are searching for information about "Hamas" is Haifa, Israel. Probably a good idea. On a related note, the place doing the most searches for "Haifa" is Beirut, Lebanon. Come on. Just call each other already.
-The place where the most people are searching for "Free Pornography" is New Delhi, India...cheap bastards.
-Hey Columbia, Maryland. Stop searching for "Mail Order Brides" so much. You're 1st.
-Who's got "Jungle Fever"? San Francisco, that's who. Atleast, that's who's searching it the most.
-What do people in Miami love more than being Cuban and roller skating? Apparently, singing along with Lionel Richie. They're 1st in searches for "Lionel Richie Lyrics".
-St Louis just don't give a fuck. They're 1st in searches for the phrase "Fuck That".
-This one is near and dear to my heart. Melbourne, Austrailia - 1st in searches for the phrase "Oh shit, son".
-Lastly, the number one location for google searching the phrase "google search", New Delhi, India. Which I'm sure was quickly followed up with a search for cheap pornography.
