  • "In fact, the point of a googlebomb is to acheive the googlebomb and then publicize it: "Look, if you search for 'more evil than satan,' you get the Microsoft home-page, hardy-har-har.""
  • "It's really self-reflexive: the nominal point of a googlebomb is to hijack a common search-term to misdirect searchers (i.e., the neo-Nazis who bombed the string "jew"), but in fact, a single-word query for "jew" is a pretty weird thing to punch into Google: "Hmm, I wonder why my neighbor takes every Friday night off and lights a candle."
  • "I love the googlebomb, but I thought I'd point out (if you hadn't noticed) that the smartbitchestrashybooks URL is filtered out by google's safesearch - which means that most people searching from jobs and public libraries won't see the googlebomb, which is a shame and dilutes the power of it."
