QUICK, BEFORE THEY CHANGE IT!

you know how Google's "I'm feeling lucky" button is supposed to take you to the most relevant site without you having to browse through thousands of search results? well, type the word failure into the search field and click the "i'm feeling lucky" button. watch what happens.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

NICE

There he is...grinin' like a jackass eatin' briars.

What a dumbass.

love it, that made my night!

Awesome.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......*Breathes*.....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

I love it.

seen it before

Oh wow...you just made my night.

I'm pretty sure it's been that way for like 4 years.

Google-bombing is a powerful, powerful thing.

word.

well, maybe they won't.... but alberto could be lurking just around the corner, ready to strike out at google for doing it

That was the best thing I've seen in a while.

that's perfect!

yep.

they tried to bomb michael moore up to first instead, but bush just can't be unseated from failure #1

Ha!

That's been there for awhile, probably not going to change anytime soon.

sorry dude, old news

time out. did someone besides me just use 'word' to indicate agreement in the 21st century?

le gasp!

...it must be a redhead thing.

Don't worry, they won't change it. Here's a linked explanation if you do a regular search for "failure" - that same site is first and Michael Moore is 2nd... then there's this link over in the area that Google normally puts advertisers:

If you do a Google search on the word [failure] or the phrase [miserable failure], the top result is currently the White House’s official biographical page for President Bush. We've received some complaints recently from users who assume that this reflects a political bias on our part. I'd like to explain how these results come up in order to allay these concerns.

Google's search results are generated by computer programs that rank web pages in large part by examining the number and relative popularity of the sites that link to them. By using a practice called googlebombing, however, determined pranksters can occasionally produce odd results. In this case, a number of webmasters use the phrases [failure] and [miserable failure] to describe and link to President Bush's website, thus pushing it to the top of searches for those phrases. We don't condone the practice of googlebombing, or any other action that seeks to affect the integrity of our search results, but we're also reluctant to alter our results by hand in order to prevent such items from showing up. Pranks like this may be distracting to some, but they don't affect the overall quality of our search service, whose objectivity, as always, remains the core of our mission.

If I had a dime for ever time I seen this, I'd have alot of dimes... If I had a dollar, I'd be even richer.
