OOOOPS! Lil' Ricky Man-on-Dog unhappy with the way his name comes up on TEH GOOGLE.
Rick Santorum owns up to his long running ‘Google problem’

Former GOP Sen. Rick Santorum (PA) has a problem: he's eying a run for president, but his name recognition is weak. And Google, as it turns out, isn't really helping his brand image.

Enter "Rick Santorum" into a Google search and you should get over half a million results. But two out of the top four are references to a sexual neologism coined as a tribute to Santorum's past denunciations of homosexuality.

The neologism? Anal sex.

It was created in 2003 by the openly gay sex columnist Dan Savage after Santorum, then a member of the Republican leadership, made controversial remarks likening homosexuality to "incest" and "adultery." He told The Associated Press that acceptance of gay sex could "undermine the fabric of our society" and lead to "man on child, man on dog" relations.

In response, Savage created the website SpreadingSantorum.com, asking readers to offer definitions for the word "Santorum," from which a winner would later be determined by a vote. It went viral.

The winning definition -- hide the kids -- was: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/02/16/rick-santorum-owns-up-to-his-long-running-google-problem/
