fun with Google

[pneu]

Funny thing, you've probably seen this already but for people who haven't, type the word "failure" into Google

[DavoNogo]

how the hell did that get to the top?

funny thing is, when you click on the link and do a search for the word "failure" on the page, it doesn't come up with anything

[laurie]

There is a few people playing funny jokes at Google it happen once before...

cheers laurie

Boy, the dweebs, apologists and butt-kissers woke up to this pretty quickly, and got acting feeverishly fast - looks like it won't last much longer!

I sent the following email to the whitehouse:

Did you know that when you type 'failure' into Google (http://www.google.com/), the first page is titled "Biography of President George W. Bush" (www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html), just thought you might like to know so you can bring to Google to justice for this unpatriotic act.

Your friend and loyal admirer, (My Name).

P.S. G'day from Australia!

And after sending that email, I got this in reply:

On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, President Bush and all

Americans send their thoughts and prayers to the families of

those who have lost lives and to all those affected by this

natural disaster.

The President is directing Federal agencies throughout the

government to do all in their power to assist the victims of

Hurricane Katrina. The top priority is to save and sustain lives.

President Bush established a White House task force to oversee

Hurricane Katrina response and recovery, and he convened a Cabinet

meeting to ensure that Federal agencies' efforts are timely and

fully coordinated. Residents of the Gulf Coast states affected by

the hurricane have lost loved ones, lost homes, and been displaced

from their communities, and they will have the full support of the

Federal government.

The President has called for the coordination of all parties

involved in the response and relief efforts. Federal, state, and

local governments are working side-by-side to deliver relief to

the areas physically damaged by Hurricane Katrina and to

communities across the South that will be affected in the aftermath

of the storm. Efforts and resources are focused on saving lives,

sustaining lives, and supporting long-term recovery. For

information and guidance you may wish to visit the FEMA website at

www.fema.gov or call 800-621-3362 or 800-621-FEMA.

The President has called on all Americans to support the relief and

rescue efforts through charitable contributions and aid. Americans

who wish to contribute can do so by contacting charities that are

assisting with hurricane relief. For more information on relief

and recovery efforts, please visit the USAFreedom Corps website at

www.usafreedomcorps.gov.

Thank you again for taking the time to write.

Looks like they won't take me seriously

[DavoNogo]

pfft.. it's probably a generic reply.. unless you had some hating words towrads America in the email, I doubt they would have read your email.

[Santa1503559644]

I'm not surprised by minchjp's email ... this is the guy who loves watermarks, after all...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Maybe the shitehouse just used keywords from your email.

"failure" & "george w bush"

And his latest failure was the inept handling of the Katrina tragedy and thus the generic reply.

If the word "success" was in your mail, you probably would get details of his ability to perfect the Maxwell Smart grin

[mello yello]

Ha ha ha Faux News just ran a sombre toned story about it. They tried to label it as Google being reponsible for libel.

(must have been your email minicjp because this has been out there for about 2 years now)

I thought something could only be considered libelous if it were UNTRUE.

Dubya said so himself something like "we have failed" or "I am resposible for bla bla bla whatever , I try not to listen to his bullshyt

[Santa1503559644]

Anyone else see that news item re the zoom photo shot of Dubya asking for a potty break?? Priceless!

[Ted1503559509]

theres another of Sky News title "one of the worst Disasters to hit US" with him speaking above it.

I was just reading about the evils of Google at GoogleWatch

Can you trust Google with a database of all the search terms you've ever used?

[nexx]

Wikipedia

A Google bomb or Google wash is an attempt to influence the ranking of a given site in results returned by the Google search engine. Due to the way that Google's PageRank algorithm works, a website will be ranked higher if the sites that link to that page all use consistent anchor text.

[pneu]

# lying sack of sh*t returns the Parliamentary web page of Australian Federal Attorney General Phillip Ruddock. This bomb was suggested by weezil and executed by a number of Australian bloggers in protest of Ruddock's protracted political smear of the now exonerated Mamdouh Habib

# Old Rice And Monkey Nuts returns the website of Herald Sun columnist Andrew Bolt. The phrase is an obscure reference to Tirath Khemlani, a Pakistani commodities trader who was involved in brokering an improbable US$4 billion loan deal to the Australian Government under Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in 1974. Khemlani was known derisively by his usual line of trade - rice and monkey nuts. As he was involved in commodities and not financial transactions as a rule, it was believed that Khemlani did not have access to the funds as he claimed but would attempt to oblige the Australian Government of the day to pay a huge commission for arranging the proposed loan. The bomb was perpetrated at the suggestion of Ausculture for reasons unknown.

For the first one you gotta choose "pages from Australia".

Uh oh, there's a Googlebot on the forums...you know what this means? They're logging all of this! See now I'm starting to think Google are seriously evil, not only have they got their greasey mitts in potentially every website, but also in forums, chatrooms, gmail accounts and, if you've got Google Toolbar, your computer itself.

[DavoNogo]

how do you think people like atmorgen find places such as this?

as if someone in the states would purposedly look at an Australian Digital Broadcasting site unless that someone was looking for a place to make money

[pneu]

They'd look anywhere if they suspected you of being a terrorist, then our government would hand you over!
