Charlie Sheen and Kendra, the Kardashians and the IPad 2
Until a couple of months ago, when I clicked through my TV guide and noticed a show called Kendra, I couldn't help but blurt out, Kendra? Who is Kendra? Why does Kendra have her own TV show? What sensational noteworthy accomplishment did Kendra make in order to get her own television program?
And then I realized that apparently anybody related in any way to Playboy "icon," Hugh Hefner, has a shot at enjoying her own television show - no talent required.
The (can I say boring) program reveals Kendra's day-to-day life, where even something as simple as Kendra talking to her mother somehow makes it on screen, and admirers, enthralled with all things Kendra, wait in anticipation for words to flow from Kendra's mouth. I'm perplexed. I don't get it.
Another time, while flipping through channels, I noticed a show entitled, "Keeping up with the Kardashians," a delightful little glimpse into the lives of Bruce Jenner's family where Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian romp through the glamour world, replete with meltdowns and emotional outbursts.
I think. I wasn't as enthralled as most viewers seem to be with the Kardashians. I didn't even make it through an entire episode. I was waiting for Bruce Jenner to run or swim or something. But I saw only a segment of the Kardashians - a wacky mix of the melodramatic with the beautiful.
Funny or Die
Warlocks and Trolls.
Who do you think of?
Everyone knows.
It's Charlie Sheen, the publicity hound who demands an exorbitant salary and lots of exposure - from both viewers and women apparently.
Two and a Half Men, the show that contributed to his rise in fame (or infamy perhaps now) may have to be put out to pasture as reruns unless the producers can revamp the program sans Charlie.
Oh, yeah. Sorry, Charlie, you're fired. Can Donald Trump find a place for him on his The Apprentice show? What? Charlie Sheen is going on tour? No apprenticeship needed.
Well, why not go on tour, Charlie? What better way for Charlie Sheen, the warlock troll lover to be even more examined, explored, and criticized? I wonder if Charlie Sheen's publicist is somehow involved in all this media glitz...
Whatever. I don't really know enough about Charlie Sheen, nor do I care enough about Charlie Sheen to add more commentary to the already scathing remarks that make the Charlie Sheen star Sheen, I mean shine. But I have to include Sheen in this article for reasons that will soon become obvious.
You may be asking, though, how does the iPad 2 fit into this mix? And what could the iPad 2 possibly have in common with Kendra, the Kardashians, and Charlie Sheen?
I'll give you a minute. Can't guess? No, it's not that they all own the iPad 2 - although I suppose they could and probably do. As I mentioned before, if you're a writer, you probably already figured out what Kendra, the Kardashians, Charlie Sheen, and the iPad 2 have in common.
For those of you who are stumped and who still don't know what Kendra, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Charlie Sheen, and the iPad 2 have in common, I will now share the following secret: Charlie Sheen, Kendra, the Kardashians, and the iPad 2 have all been listed, at one time or another, on Google Trends.
Google Trends is THE go-to site for writers who want to write about items and people who appear in Google Trends' Hot Topics or Hot Searches sections, with each section pretty much guaranteeing that writers who take the time to write about them will reap a harvest full of numerous page views.
I don't generally write about items or people who appear in Google Trends' Hot Topics section. As a matter of fact, I rarely know many of the people who appear on the Google Trends list.
Recently (March 3, 2011) Sarah White appeared on Google Trends. The only Sarah White I know is my granddaughter (before she married) and her sister-in-law. As far as I know, neither Sarah White is a naked therapist. (Note to granddaughter - do you have a side job you're not sharing with me?)
What surprises me about Google Trends is that Google has been cracking down on content farms, web sites that grow content, where readers feed on meaningless drivel, so I wonder why they even offer Google Trends as a resource for writers.
Well, by golly, I am going to take advantage of some of the former and current Google Trends topics, because I'm genuinely curious to see the number of page views that will generate from this article about Kendra, The Kardashians, Charlie Sheen, and the iPad 2. Does Google Trends really help writers garner more page views? I'll let you know.

Post a CommentFun article and great job! Your compelling writing style (and curiosity) dragged me along to the end !! How are you feeling these days?
I am like Bethany, they get to be an annoyance in being in the news all the time for all the wrong reasons. Great work friend.
Amusing. Not so amusing is that my CS article has the highest PVs lately... ugh nobody reads the serious stuff but the dreck gets wild pvs.
How'd the PVs turn out for this one? ;)
Funny stuff. Does anyone feel Charlie's pain? Me, neither...
Charlie who indeed!
I am not totally sure what comment this makes of our culture. It doesn't feel positive.
My guess was going to be: four things that are way over-hyped. Then when I realized how often you repeated the names, I figured you were working on SEO and a hot list. I am curious to hear the results.
Hee, hee, I love it. I'm waiting for you to confirm that garbage sells. : }
I hope you get some good clicks from this! Now that Google is squashing everything from AC, I am even more interested to see if you garner pvs. Let me know!
