Do you ever try typing a word or two into the Google search window just to see what the popular search terms are? I do. I type the first half of a simple question but not any subject words, i.e. type "what is" or "who does" or "why isn't" just to see what the majority of people are googling.
The results used to make me laugh. Now it just makes me despair for humanity. Are most people really this shallow and stupid?
Examples:
The top result for "Who is" = "Who is the next bachelor?"
The top result for "What does" = "What does the fox say?"
The top result for "Where is" = "Where is suits filmed?"
The top result for "Why does" = "Why does my life suck?"
The top result for "Why isn't" = "Why isn't netflix working?"
The top result for "Why doesn't" = "Why doesn't facetime work?"
The top result for "Who does" = "Who does Snookie end up with?"
Honestly, WTF is wrong with people? These are the most popular searches involving those prefixes. Are most people really vapid airheads? The evidence don't paint a very good picture.
As well, should I read into the overwhelmingly female inclined subject matter? Could this be an indication that women are more shallow than men?
Anyway, give it a try. There are some pretty funny results out there. And try not to let it destroy your faith in humanity.

The top result for "How can't" = "How can't I get pregnant" Obviously a question never asked by the Duggar family. Not sure if serious... Or trolling...

Apparently most people using Google (in english) are. Of course, that is a subset of internet users, which is itself a subset of humanity. I would say your despair is well placed.

I'M NOT LOUD YOU'RE LOUD
On an unrelated note I assume US and UK Google results are quite different? Assuming you're not using google.co.uk it'd be interesting to compare normal google.com results.

The top result for "How can" = "How can I keep from singing" The top result for "How can't" = "How can't I get pregnant" I wouldn't type those into Google Images.

"Why are the French on strike?" Um..because they're French? Only the French can strike during the middle of the war, strike as in refuse, not strike as in attack.
