Google apologizes for results of 'Michelle Obama' image search
Found on CNN News on Wednesday, 25 November 2009
For most of the past week, when someone typed "Michelle Obama" in the popular search engine Google, one of the first images that came up was a picture of the American first lady altered to resemble a monkey.
Google faced a firestorm of criticism over the episode. First, it banned the Web site that posted the photo, saying it could spread a malware virus. Then, when the image appeared on another Web site, Google let the photo stand.
As if there aren't any serious problems. Nobody cared when Dubya was presented as a monkey or Obama as the Joker.
