Complex Numbers

Further Proof...

...that the world is utterly, irrevocably whacked.

Okay, actually it's proof that the people in the world that are utterly whacked. I mean, I was wrong: it's not just Brazil after all.

Really, the headline says everything that needs to be said: Please, People, Stop Typing Britney Spears Into Search Boxes

I'll say it again: FUCKING STOP TYPING BRITNEY SPEARS INTO SEARCH BOXES.

Typical conversation for me:

Them: "Did you see where Britney-"
Me: "SHUT UP! Who cares?"
Them: "..."

But Them's right, and I'm wrong. It's not "Who cares?" It's apparently, "Who doesn't care?"

Am I really the only person on the planet who's never typed "Britney Spears" into a search engine?

Emma Watson, sure...

Now on to #2: WWE.

WTF is WWE? I thought to myself. I've never heard of that, but if it comes up #2 on Yahoo! searches, maybe I'm missing something obvious, so... let's give that term just one more hit.

...Rasslin'?

Rasslin' gets more hits than Paris Hilton? I don't THINK so. And I mean that exactly how it sounds.

That takes care of 2 and 3, but what's that "Naruto" thing at #4? Again, I pander to popular culture by merely searching for it:

Ah. It's about a ninja. That's okay, then.

Then I got to #5 and my mind shut down, so I'll stop there.
