Google Confirms Lennon: Beatles Are More Popular Than Jesus

That surge in interest unsurprisingly coincided with the release of digitally remastered Beatles albums and the highly anticipated sale of 'The Beatles: Rock Band' video game. The Beatles Googlemania seems to have subsided, though, since Jesus has apparently regained His spot ahead of the Fab Four. Hopefully, the band's Google ascension won't lead to a McCarthyistic backlash of 1966 proportions. Since you can't really have a Google burning, it would be a terrible waste if people were to start chunking their expensive computers and video games onto Beatles bonfires. [From: The Telegraph]

Are you kidding me with this? Obviously you have nothing else to report on.

Jesus is so overrated.

Comeon Google! I'm sure the Erin Andrews video leak went past the Jesus searches for a few weeks too. But if you look at a whole year, I bet Jesus had more searches than anyone, period.

Too bad this is a faulty metric. After all, millions of people do not go to church every Sunday to worship the Beatles.

Wow how dumb. Statistically validated? Yeah on Google. What about MSN, Bing, Ask, Yahoo...etc etc. I can statistically validate it wrong by surveying ONLY people in a certain church. If you want to validate it to the least of accuracy, then at least try to incorporate more search engines. Or at just ask the country for church attendance and ask for ownership of Beatles CD's ;-)...Apparently the Beatles have sold a little over a billion records...Followers of Christianity number about 2.1 billion...

From this moment own I disavow Google search engine and The Beatles,neither of which I use or listen to.When the time come when you are at death`s gate you will implore the name of JESUS.Then you can search for HIM on Google or listen to the Beatles` "My Sweet LORD"!

The Beatles never sang "My Sweet Lord" that was George Harrison and he was referring to Hara Krishna, not Jesus.

Beatles is popular in countries where very few people care for Jesus. The report is about the English words, right? Think of the stats in other languages, such as ビートルズ and イエス. The result would be quite obvious, IMHO. (I have nothing against Jesus himself, although I have something against people who blindly believe him.)

You are going to seriously report this. Its an absurd, untrue, disrespectful thing to say and it has change my view on your site completely
JACKSep 22nd 2009 12:20AM
What a ridiculous assertion to make, the Beatles lovers are a bunch of nitwits, there is no one more popular than God.
jnjarnoldSep 22nd 2009 12:21AM
Beatles more popular than Jesus???......All I have to say about that is : That is a shame, and it shows.
SaraSep 22nd 2009 12:10PM
Well this would not have happened if there was a Jesus Rock Band. That's all I'm saying...

wow you people take this (_obviously_ tongue-in-cheek to anyone with a brain) stuff WAY too seriously.
Back away from the computer slowly, keep your hands in sight at all times, choke down the urge to respond to every little thing that offends you without checking your funnybone for that particular resonance that tells you that your lack of a sense of humer ;) is in fact what is being poked.
go outside and play in the fresh air and sunshine, or in the rain and gloom but get out of the house. No computer for a week.
