NY TIMES NEWS SERVICE , NEW YORK
Tuesday, Dec 09, 2003,Page 6

Earlier this year, Google started a widely used news service. Last week, it looked to some users of the Google search that the site had started to editorialize.

Anyone searching on Google for the phrase "miserable failure" was sent to the official White House biography of US President George W. Bush.

Google executives say they have no corporate opinion of the Bush presidency. Instead, the episode is another example of a form of cyber-graffiti known as "Google bombing."


Now here is a project I can get behind! With all of the webmasters/bloggers that hang at DU, don't you think we could create our own little google bomb, and detonate it in Bush's face?

What do you say? Any suggestions on what kind of shenanigans we could get up to? :)
