Paul Ryan Shirtless More Important than Paul Ryan Budget

‘Paul Ryan Shirtless’ more important to the American people than ‘Paul Ryan Budget Plan,’ accoring to study done by the New York Times. The study gathered information from Google that had to do with upcoming elections, and what was revealed was pretty funny.

The study was to see if one’s Google searches could be a sort of a ‘crystal ball’ for the upcoming elections to see how a state will vote based on the searches. The study showed that:

  • 5,000 people a month ask about Mitt Romney’s underwear
  • “Paul Ryan Shirtless” is nine times more popular a search than “Paul Ryan budget”
  • Red states are more likely to search for “Barack Hussein Obama” whereas blue states search more frequently for “Willard Mitt Romney”
  • There were spikes in searches for “McCain life expectancy” after Sarah Palin was named as his vice presidential candidate

That is amazing! Also some of the more offensive finding were that states that searched ‘Obama Muslim’ were states that Obama underperformed in. Also, on election day in 2008, ‘Obama’ was searched with ‘KKK’ and other offensive terms tagged at the end of the searches.

Question Time:

Are you worried Google is looking at your posts?
