- nickho1, on 12/15/2007, -0/+2I'm sure it's on its way up there along with Bang Bus.
- RapeSlut, on 12/15/2007, -0/+1The Bang Bros. are the best, they're leading the pack in exposing women for the money-hungry sluts they all are. I still can't believe they get away with driving that van around and picking up REAL girls but man it is awesome and they are so damn funny too. I love those guys, I wish me and my friends could cruise around for sluts and then throw them on the side of the road after ***** them like the trash they are.
I just need a drivers license and I can live the dream.- flxfxp, on 12/15/2007, -0/+3And a written permission note from your mom
- Elranzer, on 12/16/2007, -1/+1You do realize that Bang Bus (and it's sister, er, brother site Bait Bus) are completely scripted, right?
- RapeSlut, on 12/15/2007, -0/+1The Bang Bros. are the best, they're leading the pack in exposing women for the money-hungry sluts they all are.

- appleseed1234, on 12/15/2007, -4/+5Wow, aside from iPhone, Club Penguin, and Youtube, the rest of the US list is pretty absurd.
- UnstableMind, on 12/15/2007, -0/+1Check out the candidate search list. Look who's in 1st...
- junk2006, on 12/15/2007, -16/+2what do they mean by zeitgeist I thought they were talking about a documentary

- rootadmen, on 12/15/2007, -1/+6venessa hudgens is on that graph, and I have a feeling they weren't looking for movie screens...
- stephbangm, on 12/15/2007, -14/+6I was hoping for Zeitgeist, the truth documentary, versus zeigeist, the phenomenon of a dumbed-down culture.
- fuzzmeister, on 12/15/2007, -3/+10So your definition of "truth" is quotes cut into pieces, wild claims without proper analysis and sources, and intentional deception, all set to scary music?
- Groovemaster, on 12/15/2007, -3/+1Yeah, because god is real, the 9/11 commission was not a blatant whitewash, and the federal reserve has the average American's best interests at heart.
It's lucky the corporate controlled mainstream media tells us the truth or we'd have to think for ourselves!- fuzzmeister, on 12/15/2007, -1/+2That documentary goes so far beyond those statements you made it isn't even funny.
- Groovemaster, on 12/15/2007, -3/+1Yeah, because god is real, the 9/11 commission was not a blatant whitewash, and the federal reserve has the average American's best interests at heart.
- Bamborzled, on 12/15/2007, -1/+3Funny, first thing I thought of when seeing the headline is: "How long before some wisecrack makes a comment about the horrible tripe Zeitgeist?" and here it is.
- fuzzmeister, on 12/15/2007, -3/+10So your definition of "truth" is quotes cut into pieces, wild claims without proper analysis and sources, and intentional deception, all set to scary music?
- DisposableRob, on 12/15/2007, -2/+22I love how "Who is Buckethead" falls right in the middle of the philosophical questions about God, Jesus and Satan. Must be all those Guitar Hero II players discovering him for the first time.

Viva La Revolution!- fuzzmeister, on 12/15/2007, -2/+9That's important, but remember, the election isn't held online. Online popularity only means so much.
- angers, on 12/15/2007, -0/+2let's just hope that online popularity is greater than the television popularity...
- KaJuN4, on 12/15/2007, -0/+5Not to mention the election isn't for another eleven months...
- DoTheFandango, on 12/16/2007, -0/+1That and it's just a bunch of people going "who the ***** is that?" and the reading about him and going "oh what a ***** nutcase".
- fuzzmeister, on 12/15/2007, -2/+9That's important, but remember, the election isn't held online. Online popularity only means so much.
- mr.gates, on 12/15/2007, -1/+26Okay thats it, all of you who search for Anna 'whatever' Smith raise your hand. We need to figure out who you are so we can stop listening to your opinions.

- ratherplayhalo, on 12/15/2007, -0/+10Whenever I see these things I realize that my interests are so different from the rest of the world.
- KaJuN4, on 12/15/2007, -10/+12Good to see Pavarotti beat the pants off Radiohead and the Red Socks. Proof that good taste still exists in this world!
- iborobotosis23, on 12/15/2007, -3/+10It's most likely due to his death.
- hfactor, on 12/15/2007, -0/+1Yeah it´s probably more a "Who died?" kind of search...
- iborobotosis23, on 12/15/2007, -3/+10It's most likely due to his death.
- goffy59, on 12/15/2007, -6/+3Thought they were talking about the amazing documentary about this ***** up world.
- GoKings, on 12/15/2007, -1/+3I don't even want to know why "Master Cleanse" was the top recipe... My guess is that it involves lots of prunes...

- MillionsLivio, on 12/15/2007, -0/+11Mozart is on the fastest fallers list? I'm kind of curious after all these years how he just suddenly started becoming less appreciated
- Aticper, on 12/15/2007, -1/+4Judging by the rest of the 'US' list, it probably took them this long to realize that he was dead.
- ebob, on 12/15/2007, -1/+3Time ghost? What does that even mean? Is that Space Ghost's temporal counterpart?
- numb, on 12/15/2007, -0/+2from wikipedia:
Zeitgeist (pronounced [ˈtsa͡ɪtga͡ɪst] (help·info)) is originally a German expression that means "the spirit of the age", literally translated as "time (Zeit) spirit (Geist)". It describes the intellectual and cultural climate of an era. In German, the word has more layers of meaning than the English translation, including the fact that Zeitgeist can only be observed for past events.
Zeitgeist has achieved a unique status among German loanwords in other tongues, having found an entrance into English, Spanish and Japanese.
