I just had to catch them all !
And while I ramble and reminise, thousands worldwide are searching for Dragonball, WWE wrestling and, of course, Pokemon (according to the Lycos 50 most popular search terms EVER). But people aren't just interested in children's programming. No, the adults of today get their jollies from Pamela Anderson, Britney spears and Paris Hilton, to name a few. In fact, the only search term in the Most Popular list actually pertaining to real life is Poker, which began and will most likely end with the World Poker Tour show.
That isn't to say I'm surprised that politics couldn't break in, but it is interesting to note that nothing is more popular in our reality than everyone else's reality. Is life to difficult to deal with? Personally, I spend most of my time searching for products I intend to purchase, cars I wish I could afford and careers I hope to one day pursue. I once thought that was living in reality, but wouldn't I be reading Woman's Day right now if it weren't for my dislike of gossip?
It's sad that children give up fantasy so young, because there is certainly a subconscious yearning for concept, not actuality. If we played for longer as children, would that make a difference? Or is this culture a direct result of an innate need to occupy the mind?
