MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – A Google search for Santorum has generated some inappropriate results ever since gay columnist Dan Savage organized an online campaign to link graphic sexual terms to the socially conservative senator’s name. Several of Google’s top search results would offer sites with the following information: “A frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex.”
The presidential candidate has reached out to Google to remedy his problem but he said that Google has refused to help.
“I suspect if something was up there like that about Joe Biden, they’d get rid of it,” Santorum said. “If you’re a responsible business, you don’t let things like that happen in your business that have an impact on the country.”
A Google spokesperson has responded to Santorum’s charges: “Google’s search results are a reflection of the content and information that is available on the web. Users who want content removed from the Internet should contact the webmaster of the page directly.
Once the webmaster takes the page down from the web, it will be removed from Google’s search results through our usual crawling process.”
