This one cause problems on unsuspected levels.

I was checking the referral logs and found a search from http://local.google.com. That struck me as unusual, possibly one of those private projects Google insists their employees run. So I followed the search link.

It turned out to be a search for a term that maps the result to a location. Interesting concept, but serendipity caused this particular one to be hilarious. You see, there search term was "asshole" and the location was Washington D.C. So you should be able to find the location of the assholes in Washington, D.C.

I expected Guckart to pop up in there, but the first location listing returned was:

I'm like, okay Google has more intelligence built into it's search than I ever suspected.

But the Google ads were hilarious. Shopzilla offers bargain prices and smart deals on assholes (must be a branch of Project 21). and Real.com apparently has an asshole track (which I hope isn't a skidmark) you can download.

I did a screen capture of the page and even that became problematic.

I named the image "google_asshole.gif," later thinking how the name sounds vaguely obscene. But not as explicitly obscene as the name of the thumbnail you're looking at... "google_asshole_thumb.gif."
