Kids Search for the Darndest Things

As we are now well into the holiday season, and many of us prepare to celebrate Christmas and New Years with family and friends, a recent review of the top 100 most popular searches on the internet in 2009 by kids and teenagers reveals that while many of them ask Santa to make a PSP or Nintendo Wii magically appear beneath their tree, what they’d really prefer is a sex tape of the jolly fat man slipping Mrs. Claus his north pole. And by north pole I mean his candy cane. And by candy cane I mean his penis.

While Ripten blogs about games (#20 on the list of top 100 most popular searches by kids and teens in 2009) like Halo (#74 on the list) and Pokemon (#64), keywords such as sex and porn rank in at #4 and #5 respectively. What’s even more shocking is that when you eliminate teenagers from the mix and only focus in on the searches made by the 7 and under demographic, the word porn comes up 4th, ahead of things like games (#9) and Lego (#25) on the list.

When comparing teen and preteen males to females, Youtube, Google, and Facebook, ranked #1, #2, and #3 respectively on both lists, however the overall male search list included 13% adult based topics compared to the 2% found on females, proving that boys have been slightly more naughty than nice.

Other random search topics from the top 100 overall included the phrase “You’re a jerk” at #87, the name Fred at #19, Lady Gaga at #24, and the words “Watcha Say” at $76, which brings me to the video below that I’ll be leaving you all with as a sign off.

Happy Holidays everyone, and remember, kids no longer need to lock themselves in the bathroom to go blind.
