Janet Jackson Breaks 9.11's One Day Search Record On Lycos

[TheWebHead]

Janet Jackson exposing her breast during the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday night has proved to be the most-searched event in the history of the Internet.

On Monday, Janet Jackson and the halftime show received 60 times as many searches as the Paris Hilton sex tape and 80 times as many searches as Britney Spears. Jackson was searched 50 times for every request for the topic that normally dominates on the day after the game, Super Bowl commercials. She also received 275 times as many searches as the streaker who ran on the field before the second half, and 350 times as many searches as Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady.

Janet Jackson wasn't the only person involved in the stunt, of course. Justin Timberlake received 40 times as many searches as he does on a normal day.

Prior to this week, the most-searched event in the history of the Lycos 50 over a one-day period was the September 11 attack on America. Although it is very difficult to compare searches for the two events, it looks like the Super Bowl halftime show was the equal of September 11 when it comes to Internet attention. That is, to put it bluntly, mind-blowing.

5. it took one day,

I repeat, ONE DAY, for the government to call for investigations over exposing Janet Jackson's tit and how long did it take for the government to investigate 9/11 or for that matter, how long will it take to get to the bottom of the WMD/Iraq war?

Is this not completely insane?

Is a woman's breast more shocking than the 3000 lives lost to terrorism or a president who willingly led our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers into an illegal war?!?!?!?

I, for one, think not.

6. It's what the young dittomonkeys will remember in 30 years

NOT 911 (which will be blamed on Clinton and passed around as matter-of-fact) but that JJ's tit could be seen at half time of Super Bowl whatever.

Says a lot about our nation.

7. and just think...

...they were both caused by Clinton's penis!

Will the wonderous powers of Willie's willie never cease?

8. I bet I know why...

Guys looking for uncensored photos perhaps? Britney Spears doesn't top the Yahoo buzz charts because of her music ya know.
