MORE AMERICAN THAN-- ORGIES?


Maybe Pensacolans were searching George Carlin? You know, the 7 words you can't say on tv?

The New York Times has an article about the "Google Defense" -- how the lawyers for an online porn purveyor in Pensacola, Florida are suggesting community standards may be different in the courtroom than in the privacy of the juror's home. According to Google's publicly accessible search data, more residents in Pensacola search for the word "orgy" and "group sex" than "apple pie" or "watermelon." I guess we'll have to re-think what to bring to that July 4th barbecue.
