[google bombing] time to try it on tony

Reactionary Snob has come up with a doozy of an idea and explains: you probably don't know what a Google Bomb is. From my limited understanding, it is some sort of trick that a group of people do to subvert the Google algorithm (for those of you educated since 1970 an algorithm is described quite well here).

The government, following the DEFRA wiki and Milliband's blog, have come up with the idea of a list of
online petitions. At the moment, the top ranking is a repeal of the Hunting Act 2004. Each is phrased ''We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to…'' The 9th best ranked is a stroke of genius. However, why don't we all group together and try and get something ridiculous (and, if possible, offensive) high-up the list.

I’m game if he is and if you are. So what will we bomb?
