Google Apologizes To The First Lady

Ask me a question, or leave me a comment.

It's been a week that Google's search
engine showed an altered picture of
Michelle Obama. On Wednesday, the
distasteful picture was removed from
Google's image searches.

Google banned the web site that posted
it, and was concerned about the
possibility of a virus. Still, it was
found on another web site, and Google
allowed it.

However, the photo was seen, again,
in Google's image search. This time
an apologetic ad banner popped-up.

The ad banner read: "Sometimes Google
search results from the Internet can
include disturbing content, even from
innocuous queries. We assure you that
the views expressed by such sites are
not in any way endorsed by Google."

It continued to explain. "The beliefs
and preferences of those who work at
Google, as well as the opinions of
the general public, do not determine
or impact our search results," it said.

The company believes in the integrity of
its search results.
