1. Open Google.com and type in the web search "miserable failure"
2. Don't click search, but click "I'm Feeling Lucky."
3. What do you see?!

Those Google guys are up to something

If the search wasn't already broken, trying to find the number of threads this has been posted in "originally" would certainly do the job.

It isn't google that's at fault here. If you link your site to another with keywords and get a few other sites to do likewise then google searches for those keywords will follow the link to the unfortunate destination page. Oh well.

Googlebombing 'failure'

If you do a Google search on the word [failure] or the phrase [miserable failure], the top result is currently the White House’s official biographical page for President Bush. We've received some complaints recently from users who assume that this reflects a political bias on our part. I'd like to explain how these results come up in order to allay these concerns.
