Here's an article about Google Bombing, and here's some information on the Miserable Failure project that takes advantage of the way Google works. As of today, the project was a success. See how easy it is to manipulate search engines?
Neil Gaiman and a whole bunch of other people have linked to the story of a seven-year-old boy punished for explaining to another classmate that his mother is gay, then explaining that "Gay is when a girl likes another girl." You know, if he'd been describing in graphic detail what his mother does in bed, then punishment would have been appropriate. But simply saying the above did NOT warrant the series of degrading punishments he got, starting with being lectured by his obviously homophobic teacher and including being forced to write "I will never use the word 'gay' in school again" repeatedly.
