The Bush Google Bomb

another Bush googlebomb is:
Type “chimpanzee” and press the “I’m feeling lucky” button.

Looks like they short-circuited this at Google so it doesn’t work anymore. I wonder how often they have to do this?

Still works for me.

This is the most fun I’ve had all day!!!

Ta guys!

That’s odd, it’s working for me again too. I wonder if they short-circuited it, but it came back again after a new “census” of the web.

Why would Google want to short-circuit it?

They have been asked about this and other Google-bombs and basically their reply was “We just show what’s on the internet. If this is what people are saying and linking it’s not our job to stop it.”

Obviously enough web pages (and hence people) reckon it’s relevant match for Google to rank it at the top. Google’s only concern is when a single site/company/individual attempts to manipulate their ranking and cause search results that don’t represent what the internet as a whole says.
