Soccer Star’s Complaint About Google Labeling Him Gay Causes Google to Label Him Gay

Filed under: Human Nature, Really Stupid, The World — Posted by Fancy Pants

British soccer star Ashley Cole was miffed that when you Googled “Ashley Cole”, Google offered up an alternative search, of “Ashley Cole gay”. So he had his lawyers complain to Google. Google explains that the alternative search terms offered up by the Google search engine are generated automatically.

Ironically, the press coverage of Cole’s tizzy fit complaining about the word “gay” being linked to his name in Google searches have caused..yep… the word “gay” to be linked to his name in Google searches.

How Ironic is This??
