While you're at it:

Go to google, type in failure, and hit "Google Search"
Look at the first three entries

That's a result of a google bomb.

If you hit search instead of "I'm feeling lucky." you can see the other google bombs turn in reaction to the first.

I wouldn't call that "Lucky".

There's a word for a little hole we all sit on. Type that in and click on "feeling lucky" ;-)

Hmmm. Seems to lead to a site about kicking some. Have to agree with the sentiment...

The "failure" Googlebomb has been there for five years. Google "Googlebomb" and you'll see why Bush is at the top of the list. (I'll save you the task - there's so many websites critical of Bush that use the word "failure" that it naturally bubbles to the top).

What's really funny is the paid ads to the right:

Now - don't take this too seriously it's a funny post, and I'm more curious as to why Google points to something like that, so take this in that light please.

Alright - so where exactly was the failure? Jobs - nope more and more jobs growing all the time. Ok, must be the budget, no not that either - turning a surplus in an incredibly short turn around time from the decline that he inherited from the previous president.

(** = up to interpretation) *Only* real major thing left is the war, mixed opinions on that, but a failure - that's not determinable, and most likely is not going to be for a while, but compared to the number of lives lost in WWI, WWII, or Vietnam - Not even close to that level, and I've spoken to dozens of military personel that have served 12-18 months over there, in some pretty hot places and I'll tell you that what they tell me sounds nothing like what I hear over here (not until just recently have I even really heard anything good from anyone but the soldiers of how things are going over there).

Alright - You were gonna get all riled up anyway so just blame me for it, and do what you're gonna do. :)

Dave,

The reason Google points to it is the whole point of the Googlebomb. Google ranks websites, by how many people point to the page using the language of the search. So searching for "Sony Vegas" brings up the main info page on the mediasoftware site. So a googlebomb is getting a whole bunch of people to link to a certain site using certain languange.

The full google bomb for this is "miserable failure" which came from a Dick Gephardt speech. So the countering Google bomb decided to point to Michael Moore. This is, in fact, from before the 2004 election.

I think your post is missing the original **.

Ok, I have to ask, is this sarcastic because it seems to be a 180 degrees off?

I'm speechless! We must read different newspapers or something!

Anyway, back to video before we start a war here... I mean the next election is two years out and the guy isn't even going to be running.
