Someone at Google is a Real Wiseguy

[NYMountaineer]

Enter "worst failures ever" into the search engine, and see what comes up as the first result.

Cute, real cute...

1. Looks like the Freepers have learned how to Googlebomb. nt

[Lex]

6. they are kind of slow

well, really slow actually

[Tangerine LaBamba]

2. Oh, cute, indeed..........

Ah, well. Reality trumps cheap shots ..........................

[Lex]

3. It's just an idiotic Google bomb. That's so 5 years ago.

[MADem]

23. He he...it took them five years to figure out how to do it! nt

[madrchsod]

26. look at their website...it `s never been updated

if he updated it they be lost

[havocmom]

4. just the result of a google bomb

wingers need more to do.

[NYMountaineer]

10. Slow days around FR, I guess

Of course, they're the ones who who accuse us of laziness.

Well, I never cease to be amused by these amateurish gags of theirs. I personally can't wait to see what transpires during the next big Teabagging Event on 9/12.

[Lex]

14. I think they will choke to death on

their own testicles at "the next big Teabagging Event on 9/12."

5. Maybe it's time to switch to Bing. n/t

[Subdivisions]

33. I second this. Bing is really good and it reduces Google's power. After all...

we have enough companies that are too big to fail.

[Confusious]

7. Its called google bombing...

Google runs on links. Make enough links to whatever page you want say, fox news, call it dildo, get enough, when people type in dildos, it goes to fox news.

[NYMountaineer]

12. That's interesting

I didn't know that you could affect the search results that much. It's certainly a mark of desperation on their part if they think they're getting anywhere with it. :crazy:

[abumbyanyothername]

8. You guys are wasting your IDs

:popcorn:

[RandomThoughts]

9. I thought Google was pro Obama. n/t

[Lex]

11. read up on how it's done, it's just an internet linking prank

that's pretty old and lame

[Bicoastal]

13. You should learn a little more about how search engines function...

...and how they can be manipulated.

[RandomThoughts]

27. Agreed, I posted before thinking on it.

However after looking at ask(dot)com and its distortions of searches, I probably over reacted on the post.

I removed my original post for that reason.

Although I do think that information search engines should be open to public review since they can control information access.

[marybourg]

15. Can't be bothered, but I know what happens when I enter

"worst president ever" into google.

[Spazito]

16. LOL, the freepers, yet again, have to copy what creative Democrats...

originated oh so long ago. They really are laughable.

Too little, too late, freepers, baby bush will always be the ORIGINAL worst failure EVER!

[BlooInBloo]

17. Huh? "Worst Acrobatic Stunts Failures"?

EDIT: And why the hell would you blame a google worker?

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. Google bomb but weren't they supposed to have taken care of it?

oh and it used to be Bush, as in junior

[Lex]

19. Makes me wonder if the freepers have ever had an original thought.

I'm guessing 'no.'

[NYMountaineer]

20. They stole all our best bumper stickers.

I even noticed that quite a few Freepers share sig line quotes with members here. Plagiarists!

[Lex]

21. Been hanging out at that cesspool, have you?

[NYMountaineer]

24. I still check in from time to time.

Just for a laugh. I once was one of their kind, and they remind me of why I reformed, and turned into a liberal.

I'm now embarrassed to have associated with those weirdos, but I can find a lot of their stupidity and tin-foil-hattery entertaining.

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. Well it takes a bit of coding to pull that one off

but hey, these guys are fun... not

[Iggo]

22. Aw, the Freepers are learning teh internets. How cute.

Oh, and welcome to DU.

29. Greatest Google ever...

My friend wanted to go to Dick's sporting goods. So we googled "(his last name) needs Dick's"

His Mom's name and phone number came up on the google search page.

[blogslut]

30. Pretty lousy attempt. Behold the Power of DU & search:

[Princess Turandot]

31. If you search without the quotes, you get the result that the OP refers to. nt

[blogslut]

32. I used quotes

...because the OP used quotes.

Ultimately, it's just a Google bomb and trust me, this one will never be as long-lived as miserable failure or "miserable failure" for that matter. That one, is the very definition of a Google Bomb and will always be tied to George W. Bush.

[Bucky]

34. Now click on the second link under "worst failures ever" - (the "25 Worst Business Failures" link)

it's irony _(c)

35. Leftover Google bomb from when W was still Executive Ahole. nt
