back to article Boggling bum babe Kim fails to 'break the internet' – Robin Williams instead tops Google charts

Legendary comedian Robin Williams has, we're told, topped 2014's chart of the most searched for thing or person on Google. Apparently, porn doesn't count because people are always searching for it, whereas Google is interested in stuff that "trends" – pops out of nowhere and soars in popularity before fading away, in other …

    That is the most fucked-up headline that I have yet seen. Well done.

      For a horrible moment I thought they were talking about Kim Dotcom...

        You were lucky. I thought they were talking about Kim Jong Il.

    Why is that cow still given press? Why is her family considered news worthy? I weep for humanity.

      "Why is that cow still given press? Why is her family considered news worthy?"

      Come off it mate, "current events" are universally grim: Isis, murders, wars, unemployment, lying shithead politicians. So for those so minded, taking a bit of refuge following the shallow and narcissistic behaviours of KK is actually quite sensible, I'd say. Others buy "Railway Modeller", "Knitting & Crochet", or lose themselves on Facebook. We're taking refuge in inane technical news for the most part, and I'd suggest those in glassholes shouldn't throw stones.

      Or something like that.

        Agreed. And a quote to back you up:

        James Boswell - ”To be perpetually talking sense runs out the mind, as perpetually ploughing and taking crops runs out the land. The mind must be manured, and nonsense is very good for the purpose.”

        Nothing changes. King Charles II didn't lose anything by his association with Nell Gwyn.

        Mind you she had style. The story is that she was in her carriage when she was assailed by a mob shouting "Catholic whore!". She emerged and announced "Good people, you are mistaken, I am His Majesty's Protestant whore!" Immediate protestations of loyalty from crowd, touching of forelocks etc.

        I think what we learn from history is that, no matter how repressive religions come and go and our betters try to improve the behaviour of us lower classes (like Andrew Mitchell and David Mellor), when it comes down to it most people like to look at pictures of, and read about, bawdy women with voluptuous physical development who have trouble keeping their clothes on, and men who are a bit off the wall with a roving eye who have sex with these women. Talent is nice to have, but it's not primary.

    WTF?

    Does Robin Williams not count as a person?

    If he's at the top of the overall list, surely he should be at the top of the people list too?

    Did they exclude him on the grounds of being dead?

    The only way Kim could break the internet is if she sat on it.

    Carcrashian?

    Just exactly who is she?

    Anyway, if anyone were to truly break the internet for doing a nude spread it would be Emma Watson...

    I actually feel quite proud to be able to say that I have searched for none of the things and people listed.

    Paris wasn't on any of the lists. I'm truly shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

    Conchita Wurst

    I've eaten bratwurst, weisswurst, leberwurst, and even, in an unwise lapse, currywurst. But I've never seen Conchitawurst. It sounds like a sort of German chorizo.
