"Google Checkout Trends aggregates the sales data of Google Checkout merchants and charts it in a matter of seconds," explains the product's blog. As usually, Google doesn't show actual numbers, just the revenue evolution over time. The charts are borrowed from Google Finance, so they'll look familiar.

Same with this:

I haven't seen the google checkout logo at my local car dealership.
It also looks like the sales of jet engines really dropped off the charts around the holidays, especially compared to guns:

Are we supposed to take this seriously? Is this data even real?
Total junk.
