Bend it like Beckham is almost as popular as Britney. :)

Hmm... Not enough porn on that list. We have to kick it up a notch this year folks.

david beckham, that guy is like a chick magnet!

That list has obviously been cleaned of any porn refrences. Porn I related words I would think would be at the top.

Not too surprising. I would agree though, not enough porn on that list!

yeah - the lack of porn on that list says to me that it has been edited

agreed they have edited the adult searches

Agreed.
