I was monkeying about with Google this morning and made some interesting observations concerning Google and it's predictive query line...
Here's the meme that I referenced above:
Type in "Catholicism is " and you get:
No surprise, eh?
But if you type "Islam is " you get:
So Google will self-censor, to avoid pissin' off the Muslims.
Do they give a rat's ass about anyone else?
Let's have a look...
Buddhists playing bagpipes in the bathroom?
No problem.
Scientologists shattering sheetglass in the shithouse?
Nope. Not scared of L. Ron or Tom Cruise.
How about our friends in Tel Aviv?
Now, I'd be concerned about getting a visit from the Mossad, but the boys and girls in Mountain View ain't.
Oh well...
The Google Oracle works on people too...
What do you think it says about George W?
No shocker there, eh?
Well.. Guess what?
Urkel gets the same treatment:
Equal treatment from The Goog. I loves it.
Now, this is interesting:
A surprising result when you key in Laura Bush:
...Versus the same query on the current First Lady:
There are some really whacked-out people with access to the Intarwebz...
Scary, actually.
Other people get the full treatment too...
The chief of staff? Rahm (rhymes with bomb) Emanuel...
You'd never know they used to call him "Twinkletoes"...
Then we have Dead Ted...
Brevity is the soul of wit.
But what does the Oracle think of itself?
No smoking gun there...
It does make you wonder what the definition of "is" is...
If you were thinking of one of the Clintons or of Monica, you can go Google it yourself...
Other entities with interesting results...
Wow. I always thought that it was the happiest place on Earth. Who knew?
One of The Woman and The Perfect Child's favorites:
Hmmmm. Wonder what it would say about "Twilight"?
Another organization close to my heart...
I'm surprised the popular acronym didn't come up...
Perhaps Islamofacists aren't the only thing Googlites are a-skeered of...
Happy Googling!

Do a comparison of "The Republican Party is" and "The Democratic Party is" and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it seems that Google might have grown some spine when it comes to the Chines government. Or maybe Google is just pissed that the Chinese are just cutting into the bottom line.
