"Saddam Hussein Hanging Video" Tops TheWebsite's "Most Searched List"...

The New York Times has a highly educated, affluent and influential demographic of readers who appreciate in-depth reporting, cutting-edge analysis, cuddly whales, and highly graphic execution videos. As previously reported, What Shamu Taught Me About A Happy Marriage is back atop the NYT's Most Emailed List (aka MEL) -- but a quick scan of the Most-Searched List reveals that the hands-down winner for the day, week and month is "Saddam Hussein Hanging Video" (which leads to many related stories but no actual copy of the video, or link to same). Related searches include "saddam hussein death video," "saddam hussein hanging photos" and "cell phone video of saddam hanging" (New York Times readers are nothing if not thorough). Other popular searches include "gay," "google," "high school musical" and, in a modern variation of a classic tried-and-true combo, "wine, women and wii." (Another W, "War," also figures prominently, with related searches like "iraqi war," "civil war," "cold war" and "star wars.")
