I am Googlebreaker (and so can you!)
December 20, 2007
I did something wrong to Google just now, apparently. One of my favourite book title’s of last year (although I haven’t read the book) is Stephen Colbert’s I am America (and so can you!). I had the idea that maybe there were some funny spinoffs on this on the Internets somewhere, so I ran the query “I am * and so can you” through Google. This returned mostly links to the book, so I decided to remove the word America from the results: “I am * and so can you” -America
Much better… except then Google complained with this message:
We’re sorry…
... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.
Fear my dangerous googling!
