Where's OUR avalance of wtf?

Mindhacks recently posted about the "giant avalanche of wtf" that ensues if you Google "says psychologist." Clearly, someone needed to Google "says sociologist."

Here's the top 10:

1. Turkish Public Mostly Against Establishing Relations with Armenia, says sociologist
2. Climate change offers Europe a chance to change the way the world solves problems by drawing in poorer countries, says sociologist
3. "Make no mistake, there is a new economy," says sociologist
4. Puppy love should be avoided 'to make later relationships easier', says sociologist
5. Turkish Schools World's Most Global Movement, says sociologist
6. Americans Lack Family Time, says sociologist
7. Sex workers are not always victims, says sociologist
8. Race not a Black and White Issue, says Sociologist
9. Young people return to church, says sociologist
10. "Indulto law works," says sociologist

Hmmm...seems like sociologists don't quite get the same avalanche of wtf. Clearly we are more awesome than psychologists. Right?

Right???

Brilliant! Now let's get that comment to the top of Google searches!

The other way to do it is start typing "Why do sociologists..." into the Google search bar. This is what you get as suggested completed questions:

1. ...need to follow a code of ethics
2. ...classify females as a minority group
3. ...study the difference between perception and reality in human groups

That's all it gave me. Maybe it's different on different days. Is that what we do?

Hmmm...sounds like the kinds of questions an Intro Soc student might Google in order to answer their homework questions.
