StatCounter-ing the sick pukes

Everyone knows this country is full of sick, demented freakazoids these days. But how full is full, exactly? Are there more freaks now than say, 30 years ago? I can't answer those questions, but I can provide a very small, and very bizarre little numerical tidbit.

Shortly after establishing this blog, my bloated ego insisted that I be able to monitor the size of my undoubtedly massive readership. So I installed a free utility called Stat Counter, which tracks usage statistics on your site. At first I found it fascinating to see how many (lol rarely out of the single digits) hits the site got, what countries the visitors were from, etc. But the novelty soon wore off, and my weekly usage emails from Stat Counter went unread.

For whatever reason, I read today's usage report, and was astounded to see heavy volume on my site, from of all places, Canada. What might our friends from the frosty north find of interest on Fish Head? Oh, the sickness of it all is astounding. When I drilled into the Stat Counter logs to see what the Canuckers were up to, I discovered these sleazoids were Googling for "Fish Head Porno", which grotesquely enough yields over 2M results with result #1 being Fish Head On a Stick!

Now you need to ask yourself two questions. First, what in the world would prompt some demented Canadians to combine the words "fish head" and "porno"? I don't know what your life experience has been, but mine has not included anything that would lead me to think of that combination. Second, why oh why is that combination of words so commonly juxtaposed as to yield over 2M hits?

Google it yourself, if you dare.
