Americans maintain pre-Obama levels of self-centeredness

The economic meltdown hasn't altered Americans' self-centered world view. (yay?) According to Buzzfeed, America's top five Google searches during the Mumbai attacks included "sears, pam dawber, mork and mindy." Two victims of the Mumbai attacks were Americans Alan Scherr and his daughter Naomi. The pair were traveling with a religious group called the "Synchronicity Foundation," which managed to be the 4th most popular search term.

What was your first response when you heard about the terrorist acts of Mumbai?
