So the past week of memetic searches ain't all that exciting; it's down right vanilla: political self-congratulatory lollapalooza-esque barny-fied elitism, in a vanilla nutshell. We'll call it an accounting of what's on the mind of the search world, and expect an up-tick in excitement when Paris Hilton takes it over next week, once more of the world learns of her latest indecent lapse of judgment.
When Google put out its year-end Zeitgeist, an account of the hottest searches in 2006, bloggers immediately felt the list's creators were fudging it a little for decency's sake. Google responded on its blog saying the list was edited to save us from the boredom of constants and givens.
Save your judgments, o cultural elitists, as the holidays descend upon us once again and the masses search, in real, true harmony, for their true hearts' desires: consuming mass quantities and dishing the dirt.
Google's weekly look into the "moral and intellectual trends" of the searching populace, Google Zeitgeist, revealed that Google users have "an insatiable appetite for all things flashy and sordid."
Google's Weekly Zeitgeist report that a number was most on the minds of Google searchers last week: 420. What's the big deal about 420? Well, in its explanation Google neglected to mention that particular number represents the amount of THC in marijuana.
