Sarah Palin Bikini
I'm used to the Yahoo! Canada homepage having some frivolous news stories, but WOW.
The teaser title: Cda falls hard for an American Beauty (My thoughts: Oh, America gets its whole name, we get an abbreviation?)
The teaser itself: We may pretend to be interested in our own politics, but all we really care about is her. (Me: Oh, you're joking.)
The 'article': By Huw Evans | Last Thursday, we might have been watching the Leaders’ Debate like a good electorate should, but let’s be honest with ourselves: we were thinking about her.
With both Canadian and U.S. debates going on last week, Canadians searched for Sarah Palin’s name as much as for all of the other candidates, American or Canadian, combined.
And who can blame us if our hearts are aflutter? Sarah Palin is attractive, loves hockey, and can field dress a moose. But we have to admit that we’re not just into her for her refreshing lack of foreign policy experience: we also want her for her beauty queen background. “Sarah Palin bikini” became a Breakout query last week, as did “Sarah Palin beauty pageant.”
We’re even checking out her family (Bristol and Todd spiked) and keeping tabs on her - searches for "Palin-Biden debate” and “Sarah Palin interview” were both searched more last week. We’ll even settle for an imitation: “Tina Fey as Sarah Palin” was a Breakout term. We're starting to wonder: is Canada just infatuated with the Governor, or are we stalking her?
