Sarah Palin Should Become Tom Cruise's Agent
I don't think I ever want to hear the word "maverick" ever again but after last night's Biden/Palin debate, viewers couldn't get enough.
As scrolling through the internet leads us into stream of consciousness tangential states of thought (or non thought) "maverick" naturally led to..."Top Gun." Yep. You betcha. That phrase was searched also. (So where's the love for "Fargo?")
"Ms. Palin's 'you betcha' phrases drew a tremendous amount of search interest. In referencing the average American, she used the phrase 'Joe Sixpack.' The term immediately shot up in Search ('Hockey Mom' is so last month). Palin also referred to John McCain as 'the maverick' several times. For viewers, this clearly inspired memories of one of Tom Cruise's greatest hits. That's right, lookups on 'top gun maverick' went supersonic."
