Tracking the bizarre things people suddenly search for on Google.
All right, if you saw my last post about Jeff Peckman’s Alien Video, you’re probably wonder a lot of the same things that I am. First, what’s with this guy? It really, really odd that someone is petitioning the city council of a major US city, Denver, to set up an Extraterrestrial Committee. Second, he [...]

We’re trying to see if we can make OXYNation.com the first listing for “oxy.” OXYNation.com is what should be the first listing for “OXY,” especially with such [...]

In a remarkable stroke of luck for any satirical writer, the term “airbag jacket” showed up in Google Trends. I did a little investigative work to find out why people would suddenly search for this term and what in the world it is. Sometime a picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes a YouTube [...]

I do have to say that I was totally stymied about what possibly could have caused “pontoon” to show up in Google Hot Trends all of a sudden. Summer’s coming, I guess.
