Twitter may have broke the story, but the increase in search traffic at Google Thursday was first seen as a malware attack Google admitted.
The Google News site had to shut down briefly leaving a message that read: "We're sorry, but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now."
Yahoo saw a record number of unique visitors for a day with 16.4 million visitors. It was also their single most visited story in their history.

while the US is disintegrating under Democrat rule, people take the time and effort to research a guy who was a deviant pedophile who just happened to be a very good singer/performer.

Amazing!
If people took a interest in how Obama is screwing the hell out of people through “universal health care, open borders and “cap and trade” someone would put him out of his misery too.
Enough of Jackson! Let the freak rest in peace. He was bound to have an ending like this.

Even with this death the msm seeks to push their agenda.
WABC radio news reporting that the search for info on Sandford mistress topped the searches for Jackson and Fawcett.

More concern for a slimy little pervert than for the freedom of the Iranian people doesn’t give a positive picture of the USA!

I have experienced this problem before with Google. Google refuses to do anything about it.
