The integrity of this data is dubious ... where's the unfiltered content? This looks suspiciously like a copy of People magazine or US Weekly.

And as hard as I find it to believe that "Pakistan" was really a top-ten country query on Google News, I find it even harder to believe that there were even more searches for "Haiti".

The international ones seem slightly more believable ... in the UK, "national lottery" is a top ten, as is Katie Price; in Norway, GTA San Andreas; in Japan, fortune telling and Winny; in Brazil, Hello Kitty; and in China, "thesis writing" (which is both funny and scary at the same time).
