Here we go ladies and gentlemen, from Google, the 2006 Year-End Google Zeitgeist. I am taken aback by this because it does not include Britney Spears and her va jay jay and it does include a few randoms such as Martina Hingis and Autism.
This is a bit off in terms of American popular culture because it represents the results of global Google searching. I fear for the world ladies and gentlemen. Why do you ask? Paris Hilton is #1, God help us all.
This is the Google News Search List: (the Google.com one is kind of lame…it includes such goodies as wikipedia and mininova)
Google News – Top Searches in 2006
1. paris hilton
2. orlando bloom
3. cancer
4. podcasting
5. hurricane katrina
6. bankruptcy
7. martina hingis
8. autism
9. 2006 nfl draft

Click on the above link and play around this site because there are a lot more fun things to look at. Here are the #1’s that I found humorous.
#1 Question Searches:
Who is…Borat
Define…Promiscuous
Wedding Search:
1. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban (Take that Tom and Katie!)
There is a lot more about things like soccer and prescription drugs…I love Google, I really do.
So Paris scores more hits than the Obamas? Maybe she should run for public office.
