Nope. On the 9th, Edward Snowden was the 5th most popular search. On the 7th, PRISM was the 7th most popular search and NSA was the 10th most popular search. Maybe an individual sex-related keyword doesn't hit the top 15 search queries and therefore doesn't reach the rankings. Also, IIRC, they show trends and ignore the otherwise most commonly searched keywords. If you saw "hot anal sex videos" as a trending keyword every day it wouldn't be all that interesting. Bear in mind that most of the proletariat doesn't know or care about the NSA leaks. It's not the #1 search every single day just because people tend to want to just get on with their lives and ignore that icky bit of information they heard that they believe they can't change. It doesn't really affect them in a palpable way like health insurance or a new presidency. They have their bread and circus and their lives just roll on. If anything, their own personal dramas are going to take the spotlight.
