The whole time I looked, there was at least one person searching for "nekrofil" - I feel like I'm missing some context...

Around a week ago, a Turkish "politician" who used to be the chief negotiator for EU affairs made what might have been the most tasteless comment in Turkish political history:

very sad

Looks like readers misinterpreted the context which made his comment quite reasonable. This is why democracies elect incompetent politicians - people won't vote for effective people who say the wrong things. Although calling someone a necrophiliac reinforces people's prejudice against necrophiliacs which is probably worse than calling someone gay but I doubt the outraged group-thinkers are concerned with that.

Tor is also now directly connecting Turkish users, so you might see searches for "tor" or "tor project"

Really surprising that you can't click the search term to perform that search, seems so obvious.

"Please sign-in." 'We want to know what you are interested in.'

This is the worst site design I've ever seen. I find it pretty funny that the reason most people started using Google was because of how clean their designs were. Now everything they release is designed worse and worse. What happened to making things that are usable?

EDIT: Luckily there is still a usable view available: http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends#pn=p24

For whatever reason, the OP linked to the "visualize" view, which is pretty but pointless. The 'usable view' is the default (and would have been much better to link to).

That said, as of this writing, almost all the top searches appear to be about a standardized school test ("YGS"), and the only thing that even hints at Turkey's Twittercalypse is Tor at #7.
