Okay, Obama wasn’t such an extra-ordinary choice. But Megan Fox? As opposed to, say, Ada Ornath for Chemistry whose work will help assist Doctors improve pennicillin?

She has bigger boobs than the others. Sex is always the top contender in search subjects according to Google’s own stats. People search more on topical events that involve attractive women than another other type of event other than catastrophic events or political scandal.

People are more interested in celebrities than silly things like knowledge.

Is this @Zen’s reincarnation asking?

jackm's avatar

Why do you ask this here? Are you really surprised that people find breasts more amusing than science. Go to any highschool and take a poll. I can guarantee what you’ll find.

The whole Nobel Peace Prize is a joke.

—@jackm Agreed. But by asking it, perhaps I will stimulate us into thinking about people who are noetworthy.

Not everyone is as enlightened as you, my friend.

This is a website casually visited by many thousands – and googled answers too. I would like to promote thought and respect and love for those people who save lives and create wonderful things in Biology and Physics. Megan Fox is a physical and biological wonder, true, but that’s neither here nor there.

But I digress.

@cyndihugs No need to whisper. I agree with you. Especially Obama’s. He agrees with us, too, I’m told.

@jackm Groucho Marx? You are a member of a website that you say the wrong type of people browse?

Megan Fox looks a lot better in a bathing suit than Nobel Prize recipients do. She also is slightly dim and afflicted with considerable hubris, causing her to say stupid but entertaining stuff to the media.

I just had to write an essay explaining why Obama got the prize. He barely started his presidency. WTF!

Because Nobel Peace Prize winners are not SMOKIN’ HOT! Damn!

@NewZen
I meant people who already appreciate the nobel winners

@jackm Many teens pop in with a question for homework etc. Maybe they will be inspired to google NOBEL instead of MEGAN FOX? Can’t hurt to ask this question, n’est ce pas?

wildpotato's avatar

Well, I just googled her because I had no idea who she was. Wasn’t worth my 5 seconds. But it occurred to me as I was doing so that I was, because of your mention of her, exacerbating the phenomenon. Interesting, eh?

@NewZen
One can only hope.

three words,

sex sells soap

meaning if it has boobs, men will come to it. And the majority of the internet are men.

And apparently Sarah Palin has taken steps to get that number one spot back from Megan…

janbb's avatar

Who is Megan Fox?

NewZen's avatar

@janbb MEGAN FOX APPARENTLY IS A FAMOUS PERSON WHO DOES (SEXY) SOAP COMMERCIALS. SHE HAS WON THE OSCAR AND NOBEL PRIZE FOR SEXINESS.

janbb's avatar

@NewZen Thanks for the info!

janbb's avatar

I asked here because I didn’t want to Google her and add to the stats!

NewZen's avatar

@janbb NOW THAT WAS FUNNY! I REALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD!
