[MACEP] Internet Search "Horror" Stories

[Richardson, Jim]

I searched trampolines in Google images, the first 5 pages were indeed...........just trampolines
 
Perhaps the problem is the use of Yahoo  ;^)

Just had a good one appear in the district before spring break.  A middle school class was doing an image search on trampoline using Yahoo.  No problem.  Try an image search using trampolines and see what you get?

Greetings to all!

Does anyone have a good, or rather great, horror story about doing a search
on the Internet and coming up with a wild response, especially in front of a
class? Something innocent like searching for the "White House" and coming up
with whitehouse.com vs. whitehouse.gov?

I'm doing a presentation on Internet searching and am looking for some
examples that would result in inappropriate search results.

Thanks.

Deb.
