Michael Moore: Miserable Failure?
I'm sure by now we all know of the infamous Google search engine. And most of us know typing in "miserable failure" and hitting "I'm Feeling Lucky" will take you right to George W. Bush's White House biography.
But when I tried it today, I was sent to Michael Moore's homepage instead!
Moore is my hero, and I'm fighting mad over this! :mad:
Who's responsible for changing it, and how can I contact them?

1. Doesn't make much sense, does it?
What, exactly, did he fail in?

2. It's obvious.
He fails to bow down to the Almighty Commander In Thief!

:grr:

5. Someone here
Someone here has a link as part of his/her signature that will help the google bomb connection to Bush. Whenever I see it, I click on it a few times.

When this originally happened, Moore put something on his front page about what an idiot * is, so if you went to it, the first thing you saw was that. It made their efforts work in reverse.

6. The Freepers are doing this in reaction to us putting * up there
They're also doing it to Hillary and Jimmy Carter. But it doesn't mean shit, since our stunt got ten times more press.

Still MM.
Sort of O/T: Anyone know when Farenheit 911 is coming out and what we can expect in it?

13. I just tried it and got Dumbyah's bio page again
You have to enter "miserable failure" in quotes, and then hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button. It sent me straight to Shrub's page.

14. So?
It's not commentary on Moore or his site. It reflects the popularity of Moore's site as a link citation for the phrase "miserable failure."

Relax, Google's a search engine, not an editorial service.

16. It was a RW offensive. I read about it awhile back. It also, of course,
takes you to Clinton. Just a sixth grade retaliation to the original and eternal miserable failure, GW Bush.

Perhaps more or less the same number of sites link to MM and WH, resp.
So the result is not stable and may change if one site appears or disappears.
Thee freepers are catching up.
