google is it choking off images

[cennar]

I was just trying to pull up some image today and, well I honestly don't know what the hell is the matter with the world. It used to be when your looking at images on googles image search, some things would show up, you could check out pictures and zoom in on them all that jazz. every time we looked up this really well known generic Alex gray painting. it would give us a face book link or mad redirects. it seems like any time I try and get some thing out of there Image search, even these Alex Grey paintings that where all over the place, you get the link you see the picture, you then try and full size it, redirect, remorgage your home for the 5th time low low interest rates. (already looking for Stopstoresite.com under the heading is a start.) even changing topics... (cus after the many tool videos, black metal art things I've scene so what if I'm missing out on the sketchy guy with eye balls coming out of eye balls) Still most of the images I've looked up on Google Images are redirects. (I've checked and rechecked the browsers... So is there any Decent NON SOCIAL NETWORK (FOR THE LOVE OF CRACK SMOKING POLITICIANS WHO KEEP DRUGS ILLEGAL) which has just a good image search... Ok I'm thinking of the Google before BP dumped tons of money on them to stop headlining the Oil spill (That clearly was cleaned up and not at all brushed off due to Chelsea Clinton's bubble princess fun time money laidend wedding, wile migratory animals die and pollutants circulate through the oceans)

Hell I guess this is normal. When I was a kid our cartoon channel used to have Henti, yeah basic cable in Canada was uncensored for YEARS. (then Harper, with a minority government, stepped in to mute the curse words in the Trailer park boys. To Cloth naked titties, to make me spend way way way less time giving a crap about TV any way.)

Any way, these things come up more and more... I feel like I should change my email address and do... I dunno some other crap than show my girl friend, who already knows, how much Alex Grey is cashing in on trippers with the most Boring art work. (Yoga positions and lighting bolts!!)

Namaste! (mofuka,)

google has kinda gone downhill, doesnt seem like i can search for ANYTHING anymore without havign to scroll thru eight tons of keyword campers and automatically generated websites, or bullcrap like experts exchange and that kind of garbage, or ten thousand engrish websites made in china trying to sell you the thing you're trying to find info on.

GOOGLE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET US HAVE USER GENERATED BLACKLISTS TO FILTER SEARCH RESULTS!

I think spammers have found a way to embed code that changes google images if you visit their site. I kept getting redirected to some site once, no matter what images I clicked. The next day the same image links would work fine. Quite disconcerting since I'm running Linux and it behaves like system embedded malware. Either they have gotten Javascript or XML to be persistent beyond that page, or they managed to temporarily change DNS settings.

it's funny I got off the phone with a professional spammer last night, he was going off about when he's done programing what they need he adds it to stuff he uses on corporate sites that are less than ethical contributors to the rest of the planet. Poison manufacturers and Agent orange inventors Monsanto for instance need spam...

Any way the guys crazy, keeps me (not hoping) Knowing some ones doing good crap with the crap they dish out. Feeding it back to where it's coming from.

Think about it you annoy them, they pay you to annoy others, you do a tenth the job you know you can do, and then you go back to annoying them at 110percent with the addition of the massive (and still pissed off) open source community... Win win win win win....


OH yeah, keeping this as a discussion deal and some how on track. Image Search? any good non google searches really left? ah well... a great spam wall, I guess we all got them.

Spammers and "hackers" are definitely trying to game Google images. Today I was looking for a graph on Nokia's market share while at school and clicked one of the images in the Google image search I did. Java popped up for a second and then went away, a minute later I'm getting this "virus" scanner running in the background. I'm not sure if the school's copies of java are out of date or what, but getting a virus from looking at images on Google is ridiculous.
