The trib is finally getting around to writing an article on the strange search habits of Utahns:
http://www.sltrib.com/ci_4178497
But explanations fail for some other search entries for which Salt Lake City computer users take top ranking: "Sponge Bob Square Pants," "sheep," "earwigs," and "boogers." Utah's capital also has a strange interest in "gerbils," second only to Cincinnati.
And there apparently are more than a few Utahns looking over their shoulders as they troll the Internet realms of the salacious and fetishism. Salt Lake City ranks No. 1 for the term "panties," loses out only to Detroit for the voyeuristic "up skirt" search, and is No. 3 - runner-up to first place Meriden, Conn., and No. 2 St. Louis - for "masturbation."
The moral conflict implied is not surprising, Winfield adds. "Our home computers and the Internet let us secretly look into previously forbidden caves . . . without having to worry about who might be peeking over our shoulders to censor and chastise us."
