Ben Cousins - Because He Needs More Publicity
April 06, 2009
The media have had Ben Cousins’ off-field life under the microscope for what seems like an eternity. So much so that his return to AFL Football and subsequent battle with his old comrade Chris Judd resulted in a record Carlton versus Richmond crowd of 86,000 people. Based on that, one could be forgiven for thinking that Ben Cousins was the most talked about person in Australia.
The search engines however would have you thinking otherwise. A look at the most popular people searches over the four weeks ending 21/03/09 in the News and Media category highlights the public’s greater interest in other celebrities, controversial figures, tragic stories, and heart throbs.
