You are right - it´s used a lot although surely that google statistic just shows the number of people who have looked the two up to see what´s correct. But ´bored of´ still sounds bad to me however popular it is!
´Look in any dictionary and you will find that the “correct” preposition to use with bored is with. No one mentions bored of(not even hot-off-the-press books like the 2009 edition of Longman’s Dictionary of Contemporary English). Yet, whatever purists may think about it, our language data shows that, in 2009, more people say bored of than bored with. How has this happened?´ (http://www.macmillandictionaryblog.com/bored-of-life)
