Specifically, Louisville is the de facto capital of naughty internet searches, meaning that we spend more time Googling ‘Lady GaGa + transvestite’ than the average horny bear, which somehow our chamber of commerce cannot successfully market.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville is known for a lot of things. Whether it’s horse racing, bourbon or basketball, the city often scores national and worldwide attention.

But the ‘Ville now has another distinction: It ranks No. 1 as the city most likely to search for obscene material online, at least according to BusinessInsider.com, which used Google Trends for a 2008 study.

According to their math, Louisville has the greatest percentage of people searching for naughty words online.

WLKY spoke with some who believe the math is correct, and others who said we’ll need more than just one study before we should call Louisville obscene.

Well, I’m addicted to Craiglist, that bizarre and magical cyber-bulletin board where your wildest dreams — and darkest of nightmares — are simply a click away.

• One of John Lennon’s shitty doodle drawings, signed by himself and Yoko Ono.
• Populist screeds on a host of political issues, including: (1) GOP opposition to the employee free-choice act; (2) Glenn Beck and the end of the world; (3) Volunteer work for the Libertarian Party, featuring wisdom from Jesse “The Body” Ventura; & (4) Quite possibly the most succinct expression of hatred toward Ashley Judd written yet.
  
• A UFO sighting dating from 2006, wherein the possibly drug-addled poster wonders if anyone saw “UFOs… around Shelby St. in downtown Louisville?” (Hint: It was probably a rendering of Museum Plaza)
• Robberies, Grand theft auto (by way of Taylorsville), and dozens of cute, most-likely dead animals.
• Careers (read: glorified hobbies) in the ghost busting industry. (Proton-packs not included)
• Lonely mothers.
• Love for River City bicyclists.
• Aspiring Strippers.
• And much, much more…

I think I need a nap. And a shower.
