BS: Failure's no success at all

This may be old hat to some, but I've just been told about it.

Fire up Google, insert "failure" (without quotes) in the search box.

Now click on [I'm Feeling Lucky]

ROTFLMAO - Wonder how long it will be before someone suppresses it!

Google always knows best ;-)

This happens on Google at least since the 1st of June this year and is well know. So your supposition seems to be wrong.

Google's response to calls for suppression

If one googles simply for 'failure' (search option) the first two hits are GWBush and Michael Moore BTW.

Thanks for the link, Wolfgang. It led me to a wonderful story about google helping out with info for a preemie twin. Pretty neat story.

He knows there's no success like failure, and that failure's no success at all.

But does Karl Rove know?

How do they do that, since the word "failure", however appropriate here, doesn't appear in the page?

One creates many webpages which have the words 'failure' and 'miserable failure' as often as possible and makes links to the target site (Bush's bio; Michael Moore's site).
