Google Won’t Help Fix Rick Santorum’s Google Problem

In 2003 Dan Savage helped redefine the last name of homophobic politician Rick Santorum into a slang word meaning “the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.” Google “Santorum” and five entries for Savage’s definition will come up before Santorum’s presidential campaign page.

Earlier this week Santorum asked Google to remove Savage’s definition from the search results. They said no. The children smiled.
