Kids more often searching for YouTube than sex

Looking through the list there are some noticeable searches which are popular with kids. The 'regular' searches like YouTube, Google and Facebook make the top three, but then it gets interesting. Not surprisingly kids are interested in (pop)stars, games and movies. But the list also contains some more explicit searches.

Some interesting findings:

• Eight of the hundred search terms are sex-related. If that is high? Well, we are talking about kids here...
• Michael Jackson comes up on the number eight spot, not surprising for adults, but kids also seem to be fans.
• A fictional character whose YouTube channel has become a hit among kids, Fred hits the 9th spot.
• Norton Safety Minder, the software by Norton on spot 21, were they trying to find out to de-install it? Why are kids searching for this?
• XXX: a term which means 'kisses', why are they searching for that?
• And how would Ask.com feel with position 98?
