There have been a variety of Google bombs over the years (such as on this list), but the Bush bomb is most famous. It came to light in December 2003, after a grassroots campaign started two months earlier by George Johnston of the Old Fashion Patriot blog began to work. From Johnston's instructions:

Let's get everyone to link to http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html with the words "Miserable Failure" Our goal is to make Shrubya the top google pick.

It's fun, it's easy just <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html" >Miserable Failure</a> in your favorite web page will look like Miserable Failure

blast from the past

BusterBunny · 01-28-2007, 09:53 PM

type miserable failure into gfy search and see how much of a miserable failure you are for not for posting this miserable failure of a thread instead of typing miserable failure into gfy's miserable failure of a search feature........

er something like that

Jace · 01-28-2007, 09:55 PM

ROFL...didn't think so

it will be fun to see who else also just posts

Kard63 · 01-28-2007, 10:00 PM

So people on GFY have bots that go around and make slightly negative / moderately discouraging posts at random because it fits into GFY behavior? I thought the topic was fascinating.

davethetruth · 01-28-2007, 10:18 PM

This thread is perfect for bringing out the sheep lol

Now maybe instead of seeing a million threads all over the internet that say: "Hey, this is really funny, type miserable failure into google..." they will now be replaced with threads that say "Hey, miserable failure doesn't work when you type it into google anymore"

If Google ever decides to provide relevant results I'll certainly be #1 for that query.

Antonio · 01-29-2007, 04:51 AM
