Cole distressed by Google gay link
Graham Shear, solicitor for Mr Cole, said that he is interested in the origin of Google’s decision to display the "gay" results alongside general searches for his client.
He said: "I am keen to find out whether the decision to automatically include the term ‘gay’ to the keyword ‘Ashley Cole’ was an editorial decision or one made by a computer based on the volume of searches for ‘Ashley Cole’ linked to the word ‘gay’."

All I have to say to this is... who gives a class A subnet mask who the hell is gay or not anyway? What does who he fancies relate to how he plays football? We are too obsessed with celebritys' private lives these days. |

Heh, when you do a search with the keyword "Didou", Google offers you to search with the keywords "Didou sex god", but I'm not complaining, am I ? ;-) |

Everything you put into a search engine will come with some sort of negative result in the millions that usually appear so I say don't worry about and get the hell on with your lives! |

[quote] Its not Google's fault enteriely. I think its automated.[/quote]Google's fully automated. You ask them to remove a link and they say that they can't and it's how the system works. In fact they can, but the next crawling will get the page to appear again.[quote]So many people put 'cole gay', that it amutomatically puts it up.[/quote]That's how this one appeared:[url]http://www.google.com/search?q=miserable+failu e[/url] |
