Canadman Drinking Game: Does it get more media than this?

Want to sharpen your media mind while getting loaded at the same time? Of course you do (you raging alcoholic)

So being the super-nerd that I am I’ve come up with a drinking game that’s both fun and informative

All you need to play is a laptop, lots of booze and perhaps a barf bucket.

The game involves Google insights. If you don’t know about Google insights than you really need to learn.

Here’s how you play…

You start by having one player pick a person, category, movie, anything at all! (the randomness of it is part of what makes it fun). Then the second player has to pick something semi-related that they think has more search volume

Example: Player A picks music and player B picks movies. A quick searcharoo on Google insights and viola! You have your answer (and chugger) in micro seconds. The winner determines how long the loser chugs for. Of course you need to exercise caution as payback can be a gag-inducing bitch

Another variation could be that player B (the loser of the last round) can pick absolutely anything that they think might beat Music (provided it hasn’t been said earlier that night). This avoids people from choosing ‘sex’ whenever they want a guaranteed win. Be warned though, if player B selects the ‘anything option’ than they are forced to drink double time should they lose.

Wondering what’s a hot search topic?

Well as mentioned sex is extremely tough to beat. It destroys TV, Music, Movies and Obama. What out-searches sex? Good old Crackbook believe it or not (aka Facebook). At first this was surprising but when you think about it this makes total sense. People are searching it not for information, but to actually log on and Crackbook away. Piecing together these little psychological intricacies of search / the game is all part of the liver-rotting fun! Although why these people don’t just go to facebook.com and insisting on searching for it is still beyond me?

This doesn’t sound that fun to you (well eff you). Let’s try one…
I’ll take Batman and since you can’t speak to me, you’ll take Superman. Who wins? Batman by about a 3 to 1 ratio…

SHIT. I can't paste the chart for some reason. Trust me Batman wins (now drink for 3 seconds)

Have fun and happy drinking. Oh and learning.
