LONDON (Reuters) - War toppled sex as the most popular search term among U.K. Web users on Thursday as the conflict in Iraq (news - web sites) captured the attention and apparently lowered libidos of online Britons, top Internet service Freeserve said.

"War was our top search term today, taking over from perennial favorites -- sex, Britney and travel," said Nadia Schofield, a spokeswoman for Freeserve, the U.K.'s largest Internet service provider.

Freeserve, a unit of France Telecom's Wanadoo Internet unit, boasts 2.6 million subscribers, putting it ahead of rival Internet service providers such BT Group Plc's BT Openworld and AOL Time Warner's AOL U.K. unit.

Sites such as Freeserve track day-to-day changes in popular search terms as a means of following changing fashions on the Web. Sex-related terms have long dominated the most searched-for subjects on the Web.

Well, even at 30, she'll have guys who like her. Nick has multiple posters of Kylie Minogue in his dorm room. She's 30+. 34 to be exact.

It seems that war footage on CNN has become the new pornography.

Street Fighter the Movie

Do not speak of that movie in here. Crap is an understatement for that movie.

J-pop is the reigning search term in this house.
