Ok, so everyone knows about the AOL controversy by now. And everyone also knows about the scary stuff people have been searching about on AOL. Besides the various avenues of misuse that this has opened up, I think one of the more fascinating aspects is the insight it gives into the times we live in. I downloaded the files and did a quick search for the term "how to", and besides the sexual terms that would be expected - some of them really bizarre - here are the one's that make you think:

cudn't help but notice...there are way too many things to 'sigh...'about!and to know ppl go seraching for them:P!!!
Hahaha! Right on! The last one is the best!!! =))
Supremus, and Illusionaire: Yup, I am sure AOL will be seeing a lot more of those!
Sparsh: I know, dude. Those searches can be depressing. I haven't put the one's that were simply way too sick, but I can tell you there are many.
Ajnabi: Email me if you need ideas or anything about entrepreneurship. I am always quick to get onto the soapbox! :)
We discuss AOL users and their queries at aol.zanoza.lv.
Check these sections: identified users, funny users.
liked the way you've categorised them!
"how to have a heart attack"! i mean, who wants to know this?!?!?
as an ex-support employee, lemme tell ya, AOL only wants yer money, hahaha. If you are an AOL member you have made a mistake... The High speed orders they offer are done illegally, same as the video professor offers prior. There is a large law suit waiting for anyone who says "I DID NOT AGREE TO THOSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS NO ONE MADE THEM AVAILABLE TO ME WHEN I SIGNED UP" Go get a lawyer - follow through, make some weekend scratch!
Im not joking either, they caught it at there Moncton Cancada call center and POOF the program dissapeared! (and i got fired...)
Theres about 50,000 word TOS to the HSIO (high speed Internet Offer) that the phone tech is to check off "I agree and understand" on the members behalf.
Thanks for posting this info. I just want to let you know that I just check out your site and I find it very interesting and informative. I can't wait to read lots of your posts. Check link insta stalker to look for instagram,
