UR Trending 2/15/2012

Thirsty Thursday!  We're gearing up for another great weekend here at UNregular Radio, what with the last of the NCN Rompetition shows starting tonight before the finals next week.  In the mean time, take a look at what other people are taking a look at, with google trends.

Twitter Tip of the Day: There's something to be said for aggregating your sources.  As we've found out from the recent death hoaxes, twitter isn't the best place to get your news.  Create a "spotters" list of trustworthy news accounts, being first to announce, means nothing if the information is incorrect.

And now it's time for a breakdown, I give you... Google Trends.

20.  Sports Illustrated - Still wending it's way through the trend-o-shpere.  The answer to your questions is Kate Upton, and please move out from under that rock.

19.  IRS - AAAaaaaaand we're back to taxes, next up DEATH.

18.  Survivor - "One World" - I don't understand the title, nor do I care to.  Survivor ended for me when Boston Rob finally took home the Mil.  No offense Jeff P.  You're still my boy.

17.  Carmelo Anthony - It goes without saying that he'd open his mouth about the current Knicks "Linsanity" and the resulting media "Linsation".  I'll stop now.

16.  Fat Tuesday - This upcoming February 21st.

15.  Mardi Gras - Kicks off somewhere between the end of November, and next Tuesday, gechyer environmentally friendly beads now!

14.  New York Knicks - Still lovin' the Lin.

13.  David Lee - Since agreeing to go back on tour with Van Halen, the "brown m&m's" video is back in the mix.

12.  Kate Upton - On the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.

11.  King Cake - A wreath of cream cheese and apple filled delight.  Although you can really stuff it with whatever suits your fancy.

10.  Progeria - The video of progeria patient Hana thanking Selena Gomez brought tears to the eyes of google searchers.

9.   Lin - New York Knicks phenom and Harvard graduate.

8.   Do Not Call List - FCC is cracking down on automated, and telemarketing calls by beefing up their Do Not Call List protocols.

7.   Phlebotomy - I'm assuming this is trending because the hot chick on Survivor is a phlebotomist.

6.   Dave Matthews Band - Announces their Summer tour dates. Everyone who was 16 in 1997 just creamed in their pants.

5.   Knicks - Basket ball, the New York Knicks, Jeremy Lin, and "Linsation" will yeild pretty much the same results these days in google.

4.   Ghost Hunter - **No actual ghosts hunted**

3.   TCU - Forth Worth police arrested TCU players in a drug bust.  Brock, TCU's leading tackler in 2012 stands accused along with three others of selling cannabis to undercover officers.

2.   Honduras Prison Fire - Approximately 350 dead after a fire set by an inmate shredded a prison in Honduras.  This is considered to be one of the world's deadliest prison fires.

1.   Heart Attacke Grill - A man may or may not have had a heart attack at the place that feeds people who weigh over 350 lbs for free.
