What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSixty-two thousand eight hundred thirty-three people read about a Kentucky town that Wikipedia calls unincorporated.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorUnincorporated means nobody's in charge, Kenji. That's a strip mall with the doors off, and I love it.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHere are three pages from Wikipedia's most-read list for Monday, October nineteenth.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOur number three is Neatsville, Kentucky, a community in Adair County at the junction of two state routes. Nobody knows why.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNobody knows why a town of this size draws that many readers, and that's the whole point of a list like this. It's a mystery with a zip code.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe page says the town spelled its name Neetsville for ten years. So my guess is a spelling argument in the comments.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNumber two on our list is Street Fighter, the twenty twenty-six film, with one hundred fifty-three thousand views.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt's a martial arts comedy from the video game series.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMaybe it's about the cast list, which runs long enough to need its own table of contents. I'd rather hear about the fight scenes.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentPretty sure it's about the cast list. It's long. Your speaker isn't on it.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnd number one on our list is Jailer 2, a Tamil-language action comedy, with three hundred twenty-one thousand views.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt's a sequel to the twenty twenty-three film, and it's directed by Nelson Dilipkumar.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThree hundred thousand people read about Jailer 2, and nobody read my Neatsville pitch.
