It's Super Bowl Saturday, What The Hell
()
Quite a few of the other Gothamist sites have an occasional feature called Photo of the Day where they spotlight a superb photograph of their pitiful city.
Our editor isn't a fan of such posts. He likes beefy information in the stories that are posted to LAist. He thinks we should throw pretty pictures on news posts. Like we're arty or punk rock or something.
This week he hasn't been 100% "in the game", as they say. It's because his favorite football team, the Bears, are in the Super Bowl.
Support for LAist comes from
Today I called him and asked if I could post up a Photo of the Day and he said "no", so I asked him what if I also included the top search words and phrases that people have used to get to LAist over the last 24-hours, and he said, "sounds weak, but whatever."
So after the jump find out what pervs are using in Google and Yahoo! to make their way over the LAist.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
