Who's a Failure?

To find out follow these simple instructions.
1. Go to Google
2. Input the word "failure" (quotes are not necessary)
3. Click the button "I FEEL LUCKY"

To quote Homer Simpson, "It's funny because it's true!" But in a very real away it is also very sad.

I would thank Google to focus on their function as a search engine and not slyly insert their own political commentary.

It's easy to bust balls while hiding.

Clark, the "I feel lucky" button basically uses an algorythm to pull a site that has a particular amount of traffic. It has nothing to do with anyone at Google, per se.

BTW, if you enter failure into a Google, and just do a regular search, the page that appears first is the same as the "feeling lucky" button. Pages appear in Google in order of popularity, not through Google's intervention.

No Geren, you're wrong! It's the people at Google I tells ya!! They are pinko commie Bush haters! I smell a conspiracy. Wait, do you hear that! Shit I gotta go.

I am neither a supporter nor a detractor of Mr Bush. I imagine the job to be exceedingly, frustratingly, head-smashingly difficult and wouldn't want it on a plate, so I am annoyed with all the Bush haters. Like you could do the job.

On the other hand, the man's beliefs seems to be completely untroubled by fact. He is, in my opinion, just another in a long line of lackluster candidates our tired two-party system produces.

I would be just as annoyed with Google if one typed in "blowjob," hit "I feel lucky" and up popped a bio of Clinton (someone should try that- I can't, I'm at work).

I would be happy with Google if I typed in "blowjob," hit "I feel lucky" and really got lucky. Now that would be cool.

Clark, If people did get "lucky" by doing that on Google productivity in the US would plummet, as people (guys mostly I figure) would be doing that all day long! Google would be THEE most popular site EVER, and then they would make it a pay site! That would suck. he he he suck he he he

Oh, and no, I couldn't do the job President. I'm a little to much of a slacker for a job like that. However, I expect that the people who do get the job of President be able to do it well with charity for all and malice towards no one (or somehting like that).

he he he suck he he he

Peace and MTFBWY,

Regarding the "blowjob clinton google thing": No it does not come up with Clinton. A coworker of mine had the same thought but actually carried it out. It, umm, comes up with (surprise!) a blowjob related website.
