So, Patricia Best, the silly techno noob at globeandmail is “reporting” “breaking news” that if you search for ‘failure’ in google you get to “laugh at what comes up first.” This is hardly news, and Google even has an explanation that appears right above the entry explaining how it happens.

Patricia, you’re about 3 years late to the party, and you didn’t even bring a gift. It’s called Google bombing or link bombing, and it’s nothing new. And I love how you title it ‘Google geeks drop a bomb on Mr. Bush’, as if the people at Google are up to it. And ‘Let others know before Google fixes it’ as if it’s something that’s broken or new. I guess what I like most about you Patricia is how fresh your content is, I can’t beleive you get paid to do your job. Who bothered to hire you, and why? I also find it fascinating that they’ve closed the comments on the article. Buy a clue Patricia Best you silly technonoob.

You are like the ubiquitous 70 year old grandmother who just got WebTV. God bless her kind but if I get another forwarded e-mail about how Microsoft and AOL’s new e-mail tracking program will make me rich if I forward it to 42348202 people, and it must be true because “it was on GOOD MORNING AMERICA” and because the message is from someone’s “good friend” and “she really is an attorney”, I’m going to never open my inbox again… Ok, not really but the last thing this world needs is a “tech” writer with that same mentality.

Hehe, by all means, if you have a blog please link to:

Hehe, give her a little taste of link bombing.

Some famous Google bombs:

Of course there is failure – which returns George W. Bush’s Biography (#1) and Michael Moore’s failure of a Home Page (#3). >:)

Google Bomb of Liar – Should return Tony Blair’s Biography

If you search for Scientology should link to Operation Clam Bake, but that goes up and down as the Church of Scientology tries to combat the link bomb’s effectiveness, it’s currently #2 just below Scientology.org.

Other mentions of how Patricia Best is woefully out of touch:

Traffick has also reported that Patricia Best is woefully out of touch. I’m not sure if their link is to get some link bombing action going but I’d figure I’d help out a bit. Haha, actually she shows up as #3 already, wow and only after 1 day.
