Hate to break it to you, but this is as old as the "French military victories" joke. And Google maintains a hands-off policy for this kind of exploit, so it's not going anywhere soon.

Google doesn't fix googlebombs unless they're pushing out some legitimate website. This one has been around since 2003. For a while "waffle" led to Kerry's bio; it's since fallen to five as no one gives a crap about John Kerry anymore.

Wow! It's that old and it's still pertinent! Imagine that.

Well, like Manny pointed out, no one much cares about the loser, do they? And I don't see how it's any more pertinent than a bumper sticker... it's not like a prank carries any sort of legitimacy, unless you REALLY, REALLY want to see it.

"I'm feeling lucky" just dumps you to the first item in the list. If you click on normal search, you can see also that Michael Moore's site is #2.

Yeah, old news... But still funny after all these years. I wonder what happens if you google "lame duck"?

You get a picture of a neo-con who buys everything a failure says.
