According to Google Jews Need Protecting, Not Perfecting
October 12th 2007 09:25
Anne Coulter, well known troll, has said something incredibly stupid that might just destroy her career (considering her career is built on an industry created by those who would be offended). Of course being the responsible bastard I am (for a change, anyway) I decided to check on Google to see how many outlets were reporting what she said.
What she said was of course, 'jews need perfecting'. Strangely enough running that through google and you get 'did you mean jews need protecting'?
Google figures out its 'did you means' by way of comparing search terms similatiries, so if it has say fifty searches under 'apples are red' and you type in 'apples are ready' it might think you made a mistake with ready and meant red.
Which brings us to an odd point, how mahy times has 'jews need protecting' been run through google? Maybe not those exact words but it would seem that 'protecting' and 'jews' go together a lot on Google.
Could it be...
Jews need protecting from Palestinians
Palestinians need protecting from Jews
Jews need protecing from Ann Coulter
Obviously the list can go on and on.

"Destroy her career"? That's interesting. Don Imus, Bill O'reilly, Rush Limbaugh and now Ann Coulter. Looks like you have acquired the habit of selectively teasing out lines from pundits and get them off their bully pulpit. There's sure lots of silencing going on at the moment.
There's only one hitch. Ann Coulter and her ilk are commenters not politicians. Provocation is their job and knowing Ann, this is pretty mild.

You basically nailed it, her job is to be provactive, basically her job is being a grade A cunt. Aptly put.
