Last time it just listed Search Results ...But Now they crossed Limits Razz

Please follow the simple instructions .

1- Go to www.google.com

2- Type in "Failure", without the quotes

3- Instead of hitting "Search" hit "I'm feeling Lucky"

4- See what comes up!

Googlebombing certainly confirms that the internet makes ever simpler the already unchallenging pursuit of the creation of entertainments for the easily amused, while revealing the target audience eagerly - even desperately - seek same.

Jim's Big Ego is the band. I'll have to lookout for them.

Would the audience be considered to be seeking equally desperate amusement if the subject was not always GWB? Laughing

Here's Google's explanation for the whole thing:

If you do a Google search on the word [failure] or the phrase [miserable failure], the top result is currently the White House's official biographical page for President Bush. We've received some complaints recently from users who assume that this reflects a political bias on our part. I'd like to explain how these results come up in order to allay these concerns.

Google's search results are generated by computer programs that rank web pages in large part by examining the number and relative popularity of the sites that link to them. By using a practice called googlebombing, however, determined pranksters can occasionally produce odd results. In this case, a number of webmasters use the phrases [failure] and [miserable failure] to describe and link to President Bush's website, thus pushing it to the top of searches for those phrases. We don't condone the practice of googlebombing, or any other action that seeks to affect the integrity of our search results, but we're also reluctant to alter our results by hand in order to prevent such items from showing up. Pranks like this may be distracting to some, but they don't affect the overall quality of our search service, whose objectivity, as always, remains the core of our mission.

Perhaps - but things being as they are, it clearly is evident that signal, even preponderant, among the demographic defined by the easily amused are Bushophobes.

Try it with French military victories. Press "I'm feeling lucky, or just click search, and click the top one.

Very Happy
