Has Google Trends Been Hacked Again?

This afternoon we see what is possibly another hacking attempt on Google Trends.

Apparently, the number 5 most-searched-for query on Google is the following (click to enlarge)...

So what exactly is...

"hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"?

Well, we're not sure yet.  The last few times Google Trends has been hacked, it has usually been in the form of a little harmless fun from the 4chan group.

In checking around for the phrase above, I came across one comment on this blog post...

...made by user rhuitron.

There certainly doesn't seem to be anything overly nefarious about him or the comment at this point so I can't be sure they are related.

Please post in the comments if you have any other info on this.
