Weird Wide Web

Want a freaky lesson regarding how close knit the web has made us all? Google up your email address, or maybe your user names for you favorite bulletin board, and see what happens. I'm not talking about seeing your old posts, some that are painful to read and maybe a little embarrassing when taken out of context. Nope...I'm talking about the pretty bizarre stuff that comes up via word association. For example...

I'm a Land Rover fan, which means I'm partial to a few aftermarket parts manufacturers, like Hella, OME and Safety Devices. Now, Hella makes lighting equipment, OME makes suspension components, and Safety Devices is known for roof racks for carrying expedition equipment and rollover protection equipment etc, and was a product sponsor to the famed and now defunct Camel Trophy from years ago. Those who know Safety Devices, know the company is also known as 'SD'. They make roof racks. Their roof racks are powder coated black.

Somewhere in my life, on a Land Rover board far, far away, I typed the phrase 'black SD racks'.

So now, because I'm a fan of Land Rovers, And I spend time on a message board about British trucks and their aftermarket accessories, I'm affiliated, via Google, with...

Wait for it...

"Blacks D racks"

Yep, that's me alright, associated with a porn site featuring inter-racial pictures of black guys snuggling up to porky white boobs. The best part?... The site apparently is a portal for gay porn too! Hey! Why be picky! Woo!

So it's official...I'm never going to be President after THAT background check! (unless McCain tries a third time and needs a running mate, apparently there's no background review at all for that gig.)
