I agree. Google can take that off if they wanted to.

But Google is out to make money, just like the media. Every single time someone does this "Failure" search, Google is getting paid.

Google's search results are generated by computer programs that rank web pages in large part by examining the number and relative popularity of the sites that link to them. By using a practice called googlebombing, however, determined pranksters can occasionally produce odd results. In this case, a number of webmasters use the phrases [failure] and [miserable failure] to describe and link to President Bush's website, thus pushing it to the top of searches for those phrases. We don't condone the practice of googlebombing, or any other action that seeks to affect the integrity of our search results, but we're also reluctant to alter our results by hand in order to prevent such items from showing up. Pranks like this may be distracting to some, but they don't affect the overall quality of our search service, whose objectivity, as always, remains the core of our mission.

Thanks Amber You did good by posting this explination!

Interesting. I have very different opinions of the president than everyone else on here but I will NOT post them. However, I found this interesting and dare I say, rather comical.
