Try typing in "French military victories" one time...hehe.


And the first result is:

Your search - french military victories - did not match any documents. Suggestions:.
- Make sure all words are spelled correctly. - Try different keywords.


Hehe, that's a good one.

Reminds me of that old line "You can't get there from here", when being asked for directions to a particular place, usually remote or out in the boondocks, as we used to say.

What ever happened to respecting those that are in authority? We are fortunate enough to live in a place where we can vote to change things if we don't like them



Yes we can vote, but things don't change.

i'm smiling not really coz of the result, well, hehe...googlebombing?
oh well, i wouldn't have found out about this except from this forum. like, hey, there's not many surfers who would just search for "failure" or, much less "miserable failure" anyway

Wow! Old news!

And I can only see this as a childish prank. Wow, you made George W. Bush look like a failure! Great job. Now go give yourself a pat on the back, i'm sure your friends in sixth grade English will be proud of you. This isn't even funny.

And before you start to say i'm pro-Bush, you can't be farther from the truth. Just because I don't endorse something attacking one guy doesn't mean i'm automatically on that man's side.

I wouldn't say you were pro-bush, but I'd definetly say your humour gland was swollen, you wanna get that looked at

Ummmm... is this the same search engine where the most searched anything is Pamela Anderson???

LOL

In other words, it is interesting how the internet is in tune with nerds who live at home with their moms.

Not one mention of the word in the HTML source. It might lead one to think that the search engine itself has been modded to return the link it did.

Search engine acting as an opinion piece. Hmmm

Pure serendipity! Even if it is controlled, contrived serendipity...

Actually, no one at Google has modded the search engine to show the autobiography of Dubya when one searches "failure." Rather, this result was done by using a method called googlebombing.

In a nutshell, googlebombing works by having a whole bunch of people click on a hyperlink that says "failure" that leads to our favorite president's autobiography. When Google's web crawlers look at the immense traffic from one site that links "failure" to the web page, Google automatically assumes that the word "failure" links to "George W. Bush," and thus, the top result for "failure" is the autobiography of Bush Junior.

As is seen by the later results, Republicans tried to top this by linking "failure" to such Democratic people as Micheal Moore and Jimmy Carter, however the sheer volume of people clicking on that little link is still holding.

Not one!? That's even more humorous than "failure".

There is no need to slander or mock our Commander in Chief. I am not saying that this thread is doing that, but it does highlight the fact that it is being done. Just my humble opinion.


remember the 1st amendment. regardless of whether or not I agree, I am still free to parodize, even mock whomever I please. some may say that mockery is the highest form of flattery...

um, check the source again. it lists a doctype of xhtml trans, and the standard tag is present in bothe the top and bottom required positions.

BTW, comedy is comedy, but I am done with this thread. interesting and funny, but useless information. .

That's a ridiculously large amount of people isn't it.?There can't be that many people who are so sad that they spend the whole day clicking on a link just to get this result.

Then again...

Type in "answer to life the universe and everything" into google with no caps or quotes and look at the answer that is displayed by a calculator.
