Type the word "failure"  into google.com (maybe in co.uk will work)


what do you get as the first search result... :-X

How did that get there? I mean...did someone working for goole put it on like that on purpose? I thought that the search word had to show up in the title or body of the "hits" that show up?

Did you notice that, in the interest of "fairness," Michael Moore's site comes up second?  ;)

if you type 'failure' into google uk for uk results only then you get the above

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=failure&btnG=Google+Search&meta=cr%3DcountryUK%7CcountryGB

So they obviously did a good job of it.

Google does that every once in awhile.......last year for a few weeks if you typed the word coward or cowardice it brought up the same thing .......only it was all  about France and Chirac......
