Google Universal Search Means Looking For Raccoons Is No Longer Family Friendly
A reader tipped me off to this. Search for raccoon, and Google Universal Search puts some pictures up at the top of the page:
See it? Third one over? I didn't know a dog and a raccoon could, well...
To be fair, Microsoft Live does the same thing:
Yahoo also shows the happy couple, but only if you specifically do an image search. Ask doesn't, clearly exhibiting a bias against raccoon-dog love.
Have a good weekend, everyone :)

Afterwards, the Beagle could never look the cat in the eye again...
Hilarious! Of course, Google has pulled the picture, at least from where I'm searching.
I predict an interesting "SEO contest" in the future :-)
That's really furry. Thanks for the canine relief.
