Sorry, American FoLCs, but I just couldn't resist!  Look at the first hit that comes up when you type in 'miserable failure' in Google.com. Ursie Now ducking from rotten tomatoes, 
Lois: Well, I like my quirks. I think they make me unique.
Clark: You certainly are unique.
Clark: You're high maintenance, you know that?
Lois: But I'm worth it!

:rolleyes: Google bombing strikes again. And while I am not a huge fan of our president, I don't consider character assassination all that funny. 
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

An explanation of Google bombing . This time it started with this site. It's a cheap stunt. And IMO, morally similar to stabbing someone in the back. I'm not a Bush fan, but I express my opinions openly, not through subterfuge and childish stunts.

Oh, Rivka, you take the fun out of everything. :)The bombing thing really takes away the humour.

For a while there if you typed in "President 2004" you got a Howard Dean site. Now you get Dennis Kucinich.
And if you type "Weapons of Mass Destruction" you'll notice at the top of the screen you'll get an error message reading "Cannot find Weapons of Mass Destruction".
Ah, google. :p

Oh for goodness sakes. The BBC decided that this was news . BTW, the fault lies not with Google, but with people who are aware of how it works and manipulate it. Google has an official policy of ignoring these stunts.

Don't kill the messenger... This was sent to me by an American friend - who, by the way, is a staunch Bush fan. He thought it was hilarious. Don't ask me why anyone would look up words like that. I emailed my friend and asked him if it was maybe 'a guy thing'. I'm very interested in his answer. Ursie

Seriously, that was a great laugh (at least to this Democrat). Thanks, Ursie
