If you haven’t done so yet, you should really try and get to know Rick Santorum. Some of the basics: He is a one of the Republicans running for President in 2012, he’s a lawyer and a former United States Senator from Pennsylvania…and his last name has a very strange sexual connotation. Don’t believe me? Google “Santorum” and see for yourself. And it turns out that the Republican presidential candidate has been fighting to remove this description for years!
The association of “Santorum” with this sex act is the handy work of Dan Savage who, in 2003, created a website that successfully change the meaning of the Republican’s last name. Mr. Savage began his endeavor after the Republican compared homosexuality to incest and bestiality. Savage’s first action was to start a website called spreadingsantorum.com, all dedicated to his new definition of little Rickie’s last name.
Now, anyone using the search engine Google to look up information on “Santorum” gets this definition: “the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.”
So now Santorum, running for the Republican nomination to take on Barack Obama in the 2012 Presidential election is concerned, and he wants Google to do something about it. In an interview with Politico, Rick disclosed that he’s asked Google to clean up his name.
“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.”
He continued: “To have a business allow that type of filth to be purveyed through their website or through their system is something that they say they can’t handle but I suspect that’s not true.”
Google Update: We Can’t help you Rick. Contact the webmaster of the site responsible for the new definition of your name:
“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,” the spokesperson said. “Once the webmaster takes the page down from the web, it will be removed from Google’s search results through our usual crawling process.”
After googling “Santorum” and seeing/reading its new definition, it is very hard accepting the fact that this “frothy mix of lube and fecal matter” is running (yeah, running… lol) for President of the United States.
