Rick Santorum contacted Google, says company spreads ‘filth’
A Google search for Santorum has generated some inappropriate results since gay columnist Dan Savage organized an online campaign to link graphic sexual terms to the socially conservative senator’s name. Now, the Republican presidential candidate says he’s convinced Google could do something to remedy the issue, if the company wanted to…. Santorum has acknowledged his widely covered “Google problem” in the past, but his contact with the company is a newer development. A Google spokesperson responded to Santorum by advising that users who want “content removed from the Internet should contact the webmaster of the page directly.”

Is it Google’s fault that Santorum is more widely known as the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex than as a former US Senator’s name?

Ha ha ha! Santorum has no idea how Google even works…the whole idea is that it runs on an algorithm rather than people deciding what is and isn’t listed.
I love how even the second result is the wikipedia page on the neologism, and the third is the actual wiki page for Rick Santorum.
So I’m still slightly unclear on the concept. When you turn your bachmann and a romney is inserted in your perry, the result is santorum?
