Google and weapons of mass destruction

[roln 20s]

I got this in an email today. I actually talked to my buddy that works for Google and he didn't even know this.
Someone at google had some time on his/her hands and a bit of a funny bone to
crack.
do this:
1) go to www.google.com
2) in the search box, type in "Weapons of Mass Destruction"
3) Hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button.
4) You will receive an error message. This looks like a normal Internet
Explorer error message, but take a second to actually read it.
I guess Google doesn't want to make money off of that search market I'm sure glad.

I think he may- he was a marketing major from Santa Clara. Thats a good question, I don't know what he does.

These guys must have planned this out pretty well because the odds of their website becoming #1 on the search list are fairly slim.

Their site did not come back as #1 search, they are linked to pushing that button with that search criteria. Someone at Google allowed that code or someone has hacked the google site.

Someone wrote an article a while back about Google's search engine censoring the returns between the US search engine and European search engine. Most of the censorship keeps "hate speech" off the list of returns, such as white supremicists, etc.
It seems that certain European countries have laws against free speech and specifically prohibit certain articles about Nazis, KKK, etc. (not that I am a fan of them but come on now)
I am sure it is arbitrary administered and probably prohibits others kinds of "speech" as well.

He hasn't been there that long, but he is going to attempt to get a good inside source, and when he does, I'll pass it along.

France forced internet providers to ban any reference to hitler and nazis, plus anything else they deem unsuitable for their poor innocent babies, from being accessed by computer there. I think the big thing was memobilia being sold by auction houses. As far as I am concerned, it is one more example of the stupidity of the french.
