From Google's blog, re: failure ...
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/09/googlebombing-failure.html

I, for one, am glad that Google finds this unacceptable, and they SHOULD do everything within their power to combat bogus results like that.  If I am legitimately trying to search for information on something, I don't want some disgruntled smart-alek's garbage showing-up.

Never thought of using that to describe W -- but it fits as well as anything, I guess. ;)

Not him.  (I have a different description for W.)  I was referring to the person who decided to exploit the weaknesses in Google's page search algorithms.

On a related political note, google "waffles."

In all seriousness, though, I like my search engines to be objective.

you can always use Lycos or any others despite it's googlebombing it works remarkably well... :P
But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.
