hot trends

..and speaking of hot trends (see post below) me and a coworker have become somewhat obsessed with the randomness of google trends. It is where Google shows unusual spikes on the search engine.

I'd say 99 out of 100 times, I do not recognize the search term, hence the fun and horror in following the link trail to discover the origins of the spike.

Welcome to the horror side: "Carys Copestake"

This is the pseudonym for an 18 year old British girl who came up with a less than original scheme to pay for university: selling her virginity.

I, for one, can't wait for a whole industry to pop up around this business model.

We could start having "promise" ring ceremonies, where poor adolescent girls promise to save their virginity until college. Maybe it could be like an interest-building savings account.

Hey, parent's say goodbye to the days where you needed to worry about your daughters purity or a college savings plan. Girls, enjoy a debt-free adulthood, where you can shop your way to bliss, cry yourself to sleep and cycle through men like they were dryer sheets.
