Who is most important III

“Paris Hilton”: 84.700.000 google hits.

“George W Bush”: 71.600.000 google hits.

On a related matter, I still can’t believe Christopher Hitchens would choose to write about Paris Hilton, but any way he did. If you haven’t already read the piece here it is.

Harry Potter is btw. not that far behind the two (62.200.000 hits). He has now surpassed Star Wars (55.200.000). The Lord of the Rings are way behind both.

I have only been able to find one person who beats miss Hilton’s hitcount. His name is Jesus – but if you include the Christ-part, he’s not even close. There simply are no one else, no matter where you look: Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Einstein, Mohammed, Confucius, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Julius Caesar, Adam Smith, Abraham Lincoln, Leibnitz, Hitchcock, Yuri Gagarin, Schwarzenegger, Peyton Manning, Bill (& Hillary) Clinton…

If one uses google-hits as a rough way to measure brand value, the Hilton brand is worth more than Pepsi, Coca Cola and McDonalds together.

It’s a strange, strange world…
