Humanity, as told by Google Trends

I challenged my friend Kevin to find a person with a single jump larger than the 2008 Obama jump on Google trends.

He won. Here are some interesting results (click through if you can't see the embedded graph):



1. Michael Jackson's death > Obama.
2. Everyone Googled Sarah Palin during the 2008 election. She nearly eclipsed Britney's peak searchitude during Brit's 2006 divorce/meltdown.
3. Miley Cyrus twerking was more search-worthy than Obama's reelection.

PS. Thanks to my grad school friends who helped out with this.
