Searching on friendster, but not for friends

I was browsing through Friendster due to the ennui of staring aimlessly at lecture notes, and look what I've found.

Some searches are completely understandable, but a search on finding a girlfriend? How desperate can one get? I clicked on the link (not that I couldn't find one on my own) and it actually yielded results.

Well actually, it ain't so bad, considering the fact that far more traumatizing searches had appeared before. Fortunately they're all gone now, probably because it yielded zilch results and therefore they went on to more reliable search engines like Google. Yes people. Stick to conventional search engines for all your xxx searches. I'm quite sure people wouldn't want to know how deprived of sex you are when they log on to Friendster in search of a long-lost friend, only to see your desires under the popular searches. Gross.
