Who's a failure

Check this out

Step 1. Go to google.com
Step 2. Type in the word "failure"
Step 3. Hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button, not the normal search

That's not very nice. Imagine if you clicked on the button and it was your smiling picture that showed up. How would you feel?

This is like 3 or 4 months old. I think we already had a thread about it, actually.

For more google-bombing fun, try either "waffles" or "santorum".


EDIT: I should definitely mention that the "santorum" is only for those who are not easily offended and/or really dislike the Pennsylvania senator of the same name.

"Miserable failure" with the I'm Feeling Lucky search returns the same result. They're called Google bombs.

First I've heard of them. What are some others? I tried a range of words out of the blue, but the only interesting thing I got was from typing "badger" and I saw a funny but neverending animation with a tune that will stay in your head for at least a fortnight.

Here are a couple of others. Use the I'm Feeling Lucky search. You may see a page that looks familiar, but read it!

"weapons of mass destruction"

"French military victories"

For more info. and more Google bombs, try Googling "Google bombs," using the regular Google Search button. (However, if you use the I'm Feeling Lucky button, you will get a little essay on Google bombs.)
