Several internet users have been wondering why Google has the key phrase “Lindsay Lohan Poisoned,” as the number one search trend, and if in fact she was poisoned. Because of recent events with her going to rehab, being in prison, and just having a wild and crazy life as of late, it is easy to believe that she was in fact poisoned. I mean I believed it when I saw the trend.

The fact is that she was not poisoned, at least not directly, and the trend is a publicity stunt for a video created by Infowars.com about methamphetamine style drugs like Ritalin. The idea was to have a ton of people online search Google for that phrase to then bring the phrase up as the hours’ popular trend on Google, thus creating awareness for the health issues surrounding the drugs in American society.

Here is a quote from those pushing this strategy:

Grab the search term “Lindsay Lohan Poisoned” and push it up to the top of Google’s search trends chart.

Let’s make the video below go viral on the internet. Pass the link on to your family, friends and neighbors. Through education and awareness we can force the elite to back down. Feinstein’s effort is a baby step in this direction. If millions of people are educated on the dangers of Bisphenol A, sodium fluoride, and myriad dangerous drugs peddled by transnational corporations, we can begin to roll back the plan underway to undermine our health and ultimately our ability to fight back against this frontal assault.

Needless to say, it may be a great way to bring awareness to the issue, however I’d like to think there are better promotional ideas out there than to try and fool people.
