Britney Spears has been the most popular search term and person for seven out of eight years, according to Yahoo! officials. How many of those searches were aimed at finding those notorious photos of a crotch-flashing Spears getting in or out of cars is left to our imagination - not that much else was, if you get my drift. And while Barack Obama won the presidential poll, he couldn't make it to number two spot on Yahoo!'s top of the pops. That went to the WWE (as in wrestling). But Obama can take some consolation (not that he needs it) from knowing that despite coming third, he was the only male in the top 10 overall searches. The other individuals were all female - Miley Cyrus (who first came to fame as Hannah Montana), Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, and Angelina Jolie. So it should come as no surprise that in the Politician division, Sarah Palin was more searched for than John McCain. Vice-President-Elect Joe Biden didn't even make the cut. What do they say about blonds having more fun? Was there an search field where men were over-represented? Find out on page 2. |
