Search Engines: How Not To Use Them

Nail, err screw

Nail, err screw

Search Engines: look guys, you really need to get your act together.

No, really you do. A customer of mine is an image consultant and they wanted suitable images for their website. They have various categories that needed pics – one of which is  ”Older Women”. So, I Googled it. Please tear that image from my brain! Oh my effin God.

I appreciate the form of women of age more than most – take my ex-wife… (please…) she has a great figure – but some of the stuff that came up on the screen is enough to put your breakfast back on the table.

Okay, I laughed it off, because it’s a once in a while occurence that maybe my incaution contributed to, or at least that was what I thought. Anyway, today I was designing a new front end to the Hammy Cave and I decided I would have a wall with pictures on it. So, I got the wall, got the pictures, but then I realised you have to hang pictures on something.

Yeah, I Googled “Nail”. Christ on a bike – is that all the internet is all about? I’m hardly Mister Innocence, but let’s draw the line somewhere. Even with Safe Search on, I had SOME dubious results. I have to say, I was getting quite fed up with it all and decided to give it one more try before I jacked the whole idea in. So what could I use instead of a nail, I asked myself.

That’s when I decided to Google “screw”.
