If Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum isn’t careful, he could have a new Google problem on his hands.

In a Funny or Die video released Wednesday, sex columnist Dan Savaged threatened to unleash a new definition for the word “rick” if Santorum decided to attack gays during his presidential campaign.

In 2003, Savage launched a successful campaign to get his definition for “santorum” at the top of Google search results after the then-Pennsylvania senator compared homosexual sex acts to polygamy and sodomy.

“I’ve already come up with a new definition for ‘rick’ just in case you don’t behave yourself,” Savage warned. “If you can get all the way through this campaign without man-on-dogging us, I will tear this definition up.”

“So, the ball is in your court, Richard John Santorum. Leave us gays alone or I change the definition of ‘rick.’ It’s not like you can start going by Dick Santorum, is it?”

2. This should be good.

Dan Savage has done it once, and made it, umm, stick, so to speak. :popcorn:

3. Worst idea ever! For the following reasons:

1. A very common name.

2. Consider this line from the movie Steel Magnolias
"All gay men have track lightin'. And all gay men are named Mark, Rick, or Steve." WTF! Dan Savage. Leave the Rick, alone! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098384/quotes

3. Dan Savage already changed the definition of his last name. Ever heard of the phrase, 'been there done that.' Take another approach.


4. If the awesome idea of changing the definition of his last name didn't change Santorum's behavior, changing his first name won't work either.

5. Blow-back: can you see a bunch of gay men with signs saying: "G_ _ hates Ricks!? Yes, that's just too much to contemplate.

4. go, Dan!!! I approve of your tactic.

and nobody deserves it more.
