Another day, another Google Trends abuse. As spotted at Google Blogoscoped Forums, Google Trends on July 13th was showing “ǝlƃooƃ noʎ ʞɔnɟ” as the number one hot trend amongst blogs, news sites, and so on. I personally see it when I navigate back to July 13th in Google Trends.

This comes right after the display of a swastika on Google Trends just last week. What is next?

Postscript: TechCrunch reports even more continued Google Trends attacks.
