An interesting story in the Toronto Star compares the top ten Yahoo searches by Canadian and American netsurfers, and (keeping in mind that anyone who searches with Yahoo isn”””t exactly a cutting-edge netizen) the lists are pretty odd and depressing. Canadians, it turns out, are way more interested in hockey, which could only have been more stereotypical if ”””Maple Syrup””? showed up as #8 on their list. However, the American list was uncomfortably close to the favorite topics on this blog, although Yahoo-searching Yanks seemed to find wrestling more fascinating than anything this side of Britney Spears””” nethers. But throw out wrestling in favor of Pete Doherty, and move Lindsay up to replace Beyonc”” Knowles (who isn”””t nearly as self-destructively skanky), and their list is ours. Although we seldom post on American Idol. And, gun to my head, I couldn”””t name a single current pro wrestler. Or hockey player. Which, I guess, makes us a quality blog stop for all of your non-Idol, non-wrestling, non-puck-slapping needs.
