Another Week, Another Zeitgeist

The Google Zeitgeist for the week ending June 5 (yes, it's slightly out of date) featured a smattering of sports-related items among the usual mishmash. In case you don't know, the Zeitgeist is a list of the top fifteen "gaining search queries." Her ads for Canon cameras played during just about every single break in network coverage of the tournament.

Another attractive female also placed on the Zeitgeist, with Sarah Silverman ranking eighth. Silverman is best known for her cutting and sardonic brand of humor. Katie Couric, who has probably offended fewer people in her lifetime than Silverman does in a month, placed several spots ahead of her at number four.
