Google's Fond Farewell

Postby Moreau Catholic High » Sat Jan 16, 2010 6:53 pm

Google isn't leaving China without throwing a little party:

http://pop.6park.com/life2/messages/2805.html

For those of you who can't read Chinese, this is essentially a Chinese blog post demonstrating some of the amusing tricks Google is playing on the Chinese government. Some of the funnier ones are here below:

Image

Since yesterday, if you type in the word "China" in Chinese, the first recommended search term is the phrase "Destruction of the Chinese Communist Party".

Image

Typing in the letter "f' into Google China gave you "free tibet" as your first recommended search term.

Image

:rofl:

The blog also has a little analysis at the bottom that demonstrates that these aren't just flukes.

Amusing.

Yes, it does, doesn't it? By making us trust Google completely, they will effectively take over the world. ;)
