Well, go to http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html

go down the page and see what the trend is for Top Public Figure.

You know, who people most want to know about on the web. BTW, this is apparently not just the musings on Americans.

It would seem that people are more interested in Janet Jackson's flap than in John Kerry. Or more interested in Britney Spears than in Saddam Hussein.

Pop celebrities
Garner all the attention.
They make us forget.

The majority
Lead lives of quiet despair.
They seek distraction.

That's because nobody wants to see Saddam's boobies.

Really?
Damn. That's my latest investment down the drain.

Gotta remember, though, that this is the internet. While it may have gotten better over the last 4-5 years, it is still a seething cauldron of angst, porn, anonymous hatred, all things grotesque, and 14-19 year old boys, hence, internet users will be more curious about finding those rare accidental nipple pop-outs by Britney Spears than they will about finding out what's up with some old crusty atheist dictator and his hidey-holes.

However, this google site thingy proves to me that the internet is still the last bastian of free speech and expression left in the world and, frankly, I wouldn't change a thing.

I think, if I were forced to choose, that I'd actually rather see Saddam's than Janet Jackson's.

I notice they didn't have list of most searched porn stars, despite the internet being one huge pornfest! :cool:
