Hot Trends watch: Klishamoop

Here's a weird one: the term "klishamoop.com" recently hit #60 on Google's Hot Trends. I don't recommend going to the site if you're spam or virus-averse -- but if you're not, it's sort of amusing as an example of a bad scam. A11News has the details here.

Oh, I remember when that was taken -- good hair day.
