Google Trends Hacked - ƞīɢɢɛʀș ʟɨƙɛ ƙḟƈ

What do you notice at the top of Google Hot Trends for Jan 07, 2009? A term "ƞīɢɢɛʀș ʟɨƙɛ ƙḟƈ" or in plain English, "niggers like KFC". I like KFC too.

What in the world is "ƞīɢɢɛʀș ʟɨƙɛ ƙḟƈ"? I have no idea but it occupied the number spot. However, Google Trends failed to show results in News articles, Blog posts and Web results section. Maybe Google Trends censored the result or it's a work by hackers.

According to some report, how the keyword spamming works is that a bunch of nothing-to-do people search for a given set of characters that are never searched for. The increase in the search volume quickly vaults the strings, like ƞīɢɢɛʀș ʟɨƙɛ ƙḟƈ up to #1 in Googles hourly trends. Google being unsensored mostly, besides for key adult words allows this stuff even though most people will find it offensive. Google should really do a better job at having someone quickly look over the 100 searched terms before releasing them publicly every hour.

UPDATES:
* 09:39am (GMT +8) Google funds terrorism , next keyword spam?
* 08:48am (GMT +8) Google has remove the offensive keyword from their hot trends list.
