Santorum hopes Google will do something about 'filth on the Internet'
Edited on Fri Jun-10-11 06:53 AM by onehandle
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum hopes that Google will do something to disassociate his name with with a sex act. The top search results on the worlds most popular Internet search engine conflates the former senator's name with anal sex.

MSNBC's Chuck Todd talked to Santorum about his "Google issue" Thursday. "Do you think google has any responsibility in how its search engine works," Todd asked.

"It comes with the territory," Santorum explained. "There are foul people out there who do horrible things. It's unfortunate some people thought it would be a big joke to make fun of my name. That comes with the territory." "You don't think google should step in themselves?" Todd prodded.

"I don't know how they've treated other circumstances and other situations, whether they treated it differently than mine. I would suggest that if they have treated it differently and have done things stop this kind of this vile activity and filth on the Internet, they should apply it equally to me and everybody else," Santorum said.

12. Yes and the more people who will be googling "santorum" - which will make it even more popular.
That's the beauty of it. And pretty soon those crazy internet geeks will be arranging it that other interesting things come up when one googles "santorum" - such as "man on dog sex."

So even if Google wipes out the frothy thingy, this will just keep going in new iterations. It's a beautiful thing.

3. Google does a lot about filth on the internets.
Without them, I'd have a hell of a time finding it.

11. Yes this really rankles "Man on Dog" Santorum. Maybe someone who knows how to do these things
should make it so that the second most common result for googling "santorum" is "man on dog sex."

6. Hold on a sec
Wasn't it Santorum who said that anything that can be obtained on Google should be provitized and not regulated or administered by the Feds? There's a correlation there, I'm sure, I just can't think this early, of what it may be.

8. There's always the Chinese approach to Google
Edited on Fri Jun-10-11 09:04 AM by Proud Liberal Dem
I doubt that would go over well here in this country, however.
:eyes:

Why is he so outraged about "filth" on the internet anyway? It almost sounds like he expects them to prevent him from seeing it or something?

15. Poor little Ricky. He can complain all he wants to ...
... about Google. However, if you search "Santorum" on Bing, you get the same thing. If you search for "Frothy Mixture" ... you get Santorum.

Doesn't Ricky's Bible say something about reaping what you sow?

16. What is he talking about?
Is there something that Rick Santorum is being associated with that might be picked up by Google's indexing?

18. Well if...
Presidential Candidate Santorum Is having a problem with the issue, perhaps he shouldn't do things that encourage more links with multiple keyword variants (to evade the Googlebomb algo) to multiple destinations?

of your name?......we're making fun of the fact that you're a complete idiot with the intellect of a hamster (apologies to all owners of small furry rodent pets). THAT is what we are making fun of.

24. Having DICK Santorum go away would be a good first step.
He's certainly a "foul person who has done horrible things".

His theocratic utopia is never coming to pass, and if he wants to live in a Government-less dictatorship he should move to Somalia.
