Easily the worst Year in Search video so far.

How is it the worst year?

The previous ones had much more scientific/technological achievements, and it felt like Charlie Hebdo--the event which basically defined the start of the year--was just a footnote. No real reference to the Paris attacks in November, despite their huge impact, and nothing about IS from what I could see.

Obviously my own political views and personal priorities factor into this, but it felt like they chose to go down the path of a progressive political message rather than reflecting on the huge things which have occurred this year all around the world. Especially with the reference to Black Lives Matter and the "How can we overcome prejudice" search, which is controversial by anybody's standards. . . Not that they should strive to be non-controversial, but it seemed more like pandering than a thoughtful consideration.

The speech by Jenner was a beautiful touch, though, and it fit very well.

EDIT: Also, they only included one person who died this year. Last year's had at least three. Also, nothing about Queen Elizabeth becoming the longest-reigning British monarch, so fuck 'em.

Hearing Bruce's voice in that disgusting body is just.... Ew

Google Zeitgeist is some of the most interesting shit. There's something really cool about watching our collective gestalt consciousness--the psyche of mankind--manifest in something as simple and unassuming as a Google search.

We aren't asking the right questions, of course--but you know.

A shocking, double-blind study released by Harvard, in collaboration with MIT, has revealed that all people who are homophobic are actually homosexuals themselves. The study, which was carried out over the course of 5 years and involved nearly 5,000 male subjects, is being accepted by the American Psychological Association as being “scientifically irrefutable.”

Test subjects were then shown pictures of gay males in various affectionate scenarios of increasingly sexual nature. “We began with hand holding, cuddling, and kissing,” said head researcher Maxwell Kow.

“Without fail, each and every person in the study who strongly expressed a dislike of LGBT individuals in the intake survey always had brain activity that showed feelings of confusion and arousal,” stated Kow. “This was inevitably coupled with physical arousal to various degrees, but it was always significant enough to definitively show that they have a desire to be intimate with the same sex.”

Any study that literally claims ALL of x are x is a terrible study. 5,000 people isn't all people.

You're definitely more liberal than me if you actually buy this bullshit.
