What is Wrong with Google Trends?

I know that Google is not typically considered as 'Tinseltown', but Google is a multi million dollar conglomerate, and I do have a complaint..
I would really like to know what has happened to 'Google Trends'?
Recently Google has gone from the top 100 search trends, to the top 40 search trends...which brings me to the question, 'What is wrong with Google search trends?".
Tonight, November 1, 2009, I found this topic on Google Trends...'Worse poison to men's souls", plus a lot of other "gobbeldy gook".
There was NO news articles referring to this 'hot trend', only references, which had absolutely NOTHING in common with the hot search trend.
If this is the scenario, then why were so many people searching, if no news articles were available? I would have to assume that MANY people had heard the phrase "Worse poison to men's souls", somewhere!
It seems as if Google Trends is no longer the same as it once was.
Dropping from the top 100 trends, to the top 40 trends has not enhanced the 'web viewers' experience. It has limited that experience. We need Google's top 100 searches in order to make some kind of sense from the rest.
What is wrong with Google Trends?
I don't have the answer to that question, all I know is, you should NEVER try to fix something that is not broken...why drop to the top 40 search trends Google...WHY?
