The New York Times has an interesting article on an obscenity trial in Florida (Southmost New Jersey). Basically the defense is trying to prove the defendant was not really viewing obscene material because it adhered to community standards. To prove this they pulled search records for the area from google/yahoo. Here's my favorite quote:
“We tried to come up with comparison search terms that would embody typical American values,” Mr. Walters said. “What is more American than apple pie?” But according to the search service, he said, “people are at least as interested in group sex and orgies as they are in apple pie.”
Personally, I don't think its a fair comparison. I mean, it's like comparing apples and orgies.
