Top Ten Internet Searches 2011

Not really the hilarity and fun that my award-winning Top 10 List threads were low those many months ago, but I ran across a list of 2011's top 10 internet searches. I think this list shows how shallow most surfers are. :lol

I'll be back tomorrow to unveil the list. If anyone's interested, I challenge you to take some guesses in the mean time.

But keep it real, folks! No cheating and doing a search for a list yourself. If you're going to post answers, make them your best guesses.

Keep in mind, these aren't necessarily "people". There are also places and things. :)
 
oohhh, loved this game. Can't understand why you stopped it Mike. :p

OK...what were the top net searches for 2011 :confused

Twilight movie or books
Justin Bieber
Kardashian sisters
Lady Gag-gag
Harry Potter movie or books
Disney World or Disneyland
Obama's birth certificate
Occupy Wall Street movement
Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton
Might as well throw in Pippa Middleton

That's 10 for starters. I do want to go on record that no one in our house are fans or actually even like Twilight movies, Justin Bieber (although I don't think he was the father of that baby), any of the Kardashian sisters, ...I will admit that some of Gaga's songs are OK though...and I've always thought that the broo-ha-ha over Obama's place of birth has been silly, the man was born in Hawaii folks....

Anyway, how am I doing so far, Mike? I should also add searches for cute kitty videos. After all, even Mike admits to liking cute kitty videos...:lol
 
Oh, Dora, these are indeed sad days when a Top 10 List game draws only one response. :lol

Actually, I didn't set this up like I used to, because (to answer your question) my new job as of June does not afford me the time to keep up with the responses. This would have been a lame topic anyway. I actually have a point to this list... oh, the mindless things that people troll the internet for. :gah

I'll give it a full 24 hours before a reveal the list. You gave some good answers, but why bring cats into it? I will say they respond a lot better when you call them up on the internet than when you try to actually have them respond to your voice. "Here, Jinxy!" [cat doesn't even flinch, just keeps on doing her own thing] "Here, Fido!... Good boy!" :thumbsup
 
10 - Osama Bin Laden
9 - Japan Earth Quake
8 - Jennifer Aniston
7 - American Idol
6 - Lindsay Lohan
5 - Jennifer Lopez
4 - Katie Perry
3 - Kim Kardashian
2 - Casie Anthony
1 - iPhone

Our obsession with celebrities is only rivaled by our love for cell phones, specifically the iPhone I guess. I think I might be the only person in the world who has never Googled Kim Kardashian. I have no idea who she is, how she got famous, or what she does except eat up headlines. I've never bothered to read past a headline when her name is in it.

Regardless of how little you care about Kardashian, Lopez, Lohan & Perry, I care even less. :bounceball
 
:lol I was at a store with my m-i-l on Saturday and we were by the celeb mags at the check out and were wondering exactly why the Kardashians are famous...there is more than one of them, but what exactly is it they do to be famous?

The checker seemed to know about them...apparently their father was one of OJ Simpson's lawyers.

Still can't figure out why that would make them so appealing to the paparazzi? :shrug

Sad list, really, in that the only two truly newsworthy things on it, things that actually have an impact in the real world is the death of Bin Ladin and the Japanese Earthquake. Well, the iPhone to a certain extent as well, but it will be replaced by the next great thing...as well as all the famous ladies on the list.
 
Why do people worry about celebrities so much? :eeeekkk
 
Casie Anthony was the #2 thing searched in 2011. Some might call this newsworthy, but I think it's American voyeurism gone crazy. It's one thing to want to know about the current event when it happens, but to be glued to a major trial day after day is voyeurism. I'm uncomfortable with the fixation society has with a lengthy trial. It becomes an infatuation, and it's no longer "news". It's just tabloid, soap opera nonsense.
 
the people who design and program the internet are so blatantly anti-Christian, if you do a search for 'Christian' on youtube, the first twenty videos or so are the most blasphemous, mocking examples of Christianity, same with search results on google for searches about christian.

If you type in 'are there any intelligent', the google suggest adds 'christians'.

the internet is run by anti-christ satanists. Homosexual pedophiles, monitoring hot boys, pimps looking for young girls to blackmail. People need to know the truth, the internet is a means for the most wicked, snakelike people on the planet to spy on the good christians.
 
50 + years ago Christians got away from TV because it was evil... Can we not make good of what others would make for evil.

Calm down Brokenhearted. Google, and any search engine, offers you whatever is the most popular search statistically. It is not done on the whim of some sex crazed youth sitting reading what you want, it is done by a computer giving you the most likely question and answer statistically. The statistics are not fed into it by a human being, they are gathered entirely by the computer.

Other places, such as Wiki Answers are however edited by human beings. If you ask, 'How does God show his love for us', you will simply get the traditional, solely Christian answer. People regularly post additional, perfectly sensible, non-insulting, non-Christian answers but the editor is a self declared Christian and he deliberately biases the answers back to the solely Christian view. I hope that redresses the balance for you but I personally feel it an injustice to the Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc who try regularly to add a second answer only to have it deleted.

Which do you think is best, a computer which gives unbiased accurate information or a man who decides for you what answer is to be given?

You imply an unfair bias that I do not admit to jasoncran. Science works on the basis of impartial examination (pure research), theory, testing that theory and hopefully proving it or disproving it. There is no room for differences of opinion unless a theory remains unproved or facts remain unknown.

The global warming issue is a good example of that. Many people believe that anthropomorphic global warming is a proven fact and you then hear them utter the patently disproving words, 'most scientists agree'! But science does not work by 'agreement', it works by proof. If there is not absolute 'proof' it remains a theory - as in 'the theory of evolution'. In those circumstances an intelligent person would keep an open mind but be swayed by the preponderance of evidence for any particular theory.

When something is unproven or un-provable and therefore classed as a 'theory' it always has dissenters. When a theory is convincing but not proven, it has very few impartial dissenters but often quite of lot of dissenters who have a vested interest in the theory being wrong. Tobacco company 'scientists' for example claimed for many years that there is no proof that smoking is bad for you! They were right, at the time, but the accumulating evidence made their position blatantly biased. I try to avoid bias as I am sure you do too;)
