Yahoo has released its annual list of top search terms for this quickly expiring, action-packed 2006, a rundown that should once again prove that the internets, despite their still-untapped capacity for great good, still remain a tool primarily engaged for the productivity-sapping, minute-by-minute tracking of celebutard evil. A press release touting the list's arrival informs us that Britney Spears has been the top search term for five of the last six years, but this year's title should easily be the sweetest, earned as it was on the power of millions upon million of queries as varied as "Britney baby drop," "Britney Spears deadbeat divorce," and the recent, Web-slowing searchalanche, "Britney Spears upskirt vagina pics."
