This Search Term Sunday comes to you from the addled mind underneath my brand spanking new haircut. I now look eerily like Nick Drake, and let’s face it, who wouldn’t want that?
Since the last track on his second album, Bryter Layter, is an instrumental piece simply titled ‘Sunday’ it’s clearly appropriate listening on the last day of the week.
I don’t understand what’s going on with this video, or why it’s claiming to have lyrics, so I suggest you just shut your eyes and listen instead.
Lay back, lounge around, and let me insist that things will get better and brighter later. Spring’s a-coming, and there’ll be sunshine and petals and frolicking bunnies all around soon. And if you need a reason to smile before that’s actually upon us, then have a gander at some search terms! Read the rest of this entry »
The outside world looks rubbish these days. The skies are grey, everything’s blowing around in the wind, and there’s not even any snow to make up for it. Pah.
This is definitely the time of year for insisting on staying in. You can avoid the long night/short day problem if you ignore it hard enough, and mulled wine can’t get you into quite as much trouble if you never leave the house.
So get comfy and snuggly inside! Draw the curtains against the evils of the external! Make yourself all nice and warm by lighting a fire or applying several glasses of wine!
And, of course, entertain yourself with this latest batch of search terms. Hopefully giggling at them will ensure that you don’t feel the winter gloom at all:
I understand why someone might be scared to take a peek at the search terms that lead people to Pop Culture Playpen. Quite frankly they can get freaky.
But there’s no need to worry, even though it’s an ostensibly spooky time of year right now. I promise to guide you through this Search Term Sunday safely. There might be shocks and scares along the way, but you’ll come out safely (if somewhat curious about some really weird stuff) on the other side.

Seriously, her height is the measurement you’re interested in?

Eh, I’ve just about had enough of serious questions, and the resultant discussions, this week. So let’s bring on the levity instead!
Round here that means that it’s time for another Search Term Sunday- looking at, and mocking, the things people have googled that brought them here this week.
Well alright, that titular Buffy quote was from a vampire called Sunday (pictured above) and not- at least as far as I know- an anthropomorphic version of the last day of the week. But when you think about it, it’s kind of true. Sundays practically do kill you sometimes.
You’re liable to be horribly hungover and terribly tired from your weekend activities- whether they’ve been wholesome or debauched. Or, if you- like quite a few of the PCP crew- spent your Saturday night entertaining a baby while necking booze, a bit of both.
So you’re all tuckered out- and you don’t even get to really relax because another week is just around the corner demanding your attention and energy. Sundays are hard.
However they’re also they day of search term sifting- I’ll be perusing the things people have googled to end up on PCP. And possibly flailing around in confusion.
Well, let’s have no more of that! I say let’s shun the smut-less, and instead fully embrace the strangeness (and often inappropriate sexual nature) of the search terms that led people here this week.
The random things that people have typed into google to find this site have been wafting along all week, and amusing the hell out of us. Join me in the eye of the storm as I examine- and mock- this lot.
jensen ackles cowboy, sexy jensen ackles and dean supernatural cowboy
Our mascot cowboy Jensen can take care of those:
But sadly not jensen ackles naked, naked jensen ackles, nude jensen ackles, jensen ackles and jared padalecki naked, jensen ackles porn, jensen ackles gay porn, jensen ackles fotos pornos or jensen ackles nude. Read the rest of this entry »
Sundays always seem to come too soon, and with them the sad knowledge that the weekend has to end. Nonetheless they can still be a day of fun, and of pouring over the search terms that lead people here of course.

This I cannot provide, because he was never in Dawson’s Creek.

There was rather a lot of lesbian subtext in season three of Buffy…
I must admit that Easter celebrations have never really made all that sense to me, but if you’re into pretending that rabbits lay eggs and enjoy hunting for melted chocolates in apparently unlikely places then I hope you have an enjoyable time doing so.
The stuff that I’ve been searching for- silly search terms- are far easier to find. It’s much like looking for hay in a haystack, as soon as you take a look at the searches people have performed in order to bring them to this site you’re sucked into a wildly weird world.
Let’s give it a whirl:
jensen ackles cowboy
Have you seen the ‘Frontierland’ episode of Supernatural yet? You neeeeeed to, it’s chock full of our mascot, Cowboy Jensen, and comes complete with plenty of cowboy Jared:
As far as I’m concerned, Sundays are usually for relaxation and recovery. It’s also a good day to check in with your friends- preferably in person with piles of greasy food and lots of liquid.
Sundays are the perfect day for everyone to share their stories of debauchery from the latest week (or, more likely, the weekend) and to swear that they’re never making the same mistakes again.
But if they didn’t, then we’d have nothing to talk about the next Sunday. So mostly the quitters quit quitting, and life goes on with its circular motions.
Since it’s Sunday, it’s time to go through the sinful and strange search terms of the week.
I’d ask everyone to promise to bookmark some stuff instead of abusing google in this fashion, but where would the fun be next weekend if that happened?
Why am I always hungover when it’s my turn to do the Search Term Sunday? Life is wildly unfair. Despite that, or perhaps because of it, it’s time again to air people’s dirty google laundry in public.
The search terms that lead people to Pop Culture Playpen are often wacky, wonderful, wild- and perplexing. But however you got here, sit back and enjoy us discussing this week’s batch.

Comes complete with ridiculous cheekbones:
how to distract yourself from porn
Well you could let Ms Elaine E. Ouse dictate your Lent- she suggests giving up misogyny, and part of that is a pledge to set aside Disney porn. Or you could do like Miss Penn and read a load of books, that’s pretty distract-y.
I’ve just returned from a weekend in Brighton and should be shattered, but Ms Elaine E. Ouse’s girlfriend has kept me alive by pumping out pop punk and hip hop on the drive back, so I’m hyper enough for another Search Term Sunday!
It’s time to nose around and look at what search terms have led people to Pop Culture Playpen this week… And then to mock them.
misfits nathan in suit
He’s more commonly seen in an orange jumpsuit but here ya go:
I certainly wouldn’t consider myself a Trekkie but I’m not averse to occasionally watching an episode or two of the original Star Trek series. The effects are amazingly awful, there’s Tribbles which I just want to pet all day long and pretty much anything that has William Shatner in is automatically so bad it’s good. Plus my Politics teacher and The West Wing had my convinced that had lofty lefty liberal ideas at its core:
I wasn’t particularly driven to watching the new (well, 2009) film but it seemed like a reasonable thing to stick on while lazing about the other day, especially as we were having trouble agreeing on choosing anything else to see. I wasn’t expecting it to be amazing, I wasn’t even expecting it to all necessarily make perfect sense to me, but I also wasn’t expecting it to be appallingly awful. Read the rest of this entry »
I’m sneaking in under the wire to announce that once again it’s time to alternately laugh out loud, clap with glee and turn away in horror over the search terms that bring people to our site.
Of course it’s gratifying to see people stumble upon us when we seem to be able to fulfil their curious quest for information (and mad props to those people who were looking for Through the Glass Ceiling and the Leeds Animation Workshop; in my personal life cannon someone else has just rediscovered this forgotten treasure).
Sometimes the seemingly hilarious turn out to be sadly banal. We’ve become a bit immune to all the Disney porn searching which directs people to us, we barely notice it any more. However me and Miss Penn were happily giggling over the search term “walt disney assepoester poster“, it seemed like a redundant and badly spelt over use of the word poster to start with. But a little googling threw up that Asspoester is actually the Dutch for Cinderella. I don’t really know why that would bring someone to Pop Culture Playpen, but the Disney mention without the accompanying porn made a nice change.
We also got a nice string of Hebrew: “תחפושת הנסיכה והצפרדע“. I have no idea what that means, I can bless your bread and wine if needed- and that’s about it, but google translate leads me to believe that it’s got something to do with the story of the princess and the frog. However if we stick to investigating the English search terms it’s easier to find things that are reliably funny:
have the book dead poets society an happy ending?
I don’t know, maybe you should check out the film instead of the shitty tie-in novel.
What confuses me the most about this search term is that there’s only one name. Who searches for gen fic? Pfft, everyone knows that the internet is for porn.
jared leto wikipedia
I can understand being too lazy to bookmark Wikipedia. I can understand being too lazy to type the url into the address bar, especially with Chrome. I can’t, however, understand ostensibly searching for the Wikipedia page for Jared Leto (it’s here by the way, the first hit for the search of course, in case anyone else is having problems finding it) and instead clicking through pages and pages of search results. Are they having problems trusting Wikipedia since the new ads rolled out? Guess that means we’re better than an encyclopaedia, I always suspected it if I’m honest.
funny sayings like egg splattered on the ground and call it a horror movie
I’m completely intrigued by this one, I just want to deconstruct it to death. It feels like it’s sorely lacking some sets of quotation marks, but I’m not entirely sure where they ought to go. Is “call it a horror movie” an example of a funny saying or is it part of the whole? And above all, what on earth does it mean?!
globalization by pointing out the parallels between the united states in the late 1800′s and modern day technological advances and trends in the world as a whole movie follows fish through the global economy
…Sometimes there are just no words. (But there are superfluous apostrophes.)
I kind of hope that whoever was looking for it finds their fishy film eventually though.
TV is our religion. A good book on a rainy day is our idea of heaven. And Pop Culture Playpen is our little corner of the interweb to share our various obsessions and rants about the wide world of popular culture, from wailing over Joss Whedon’s latest prematurely cancelled series to ...
