Safe search is a scam - once at work, my boss and I were googling "Benoit Balls" and, well, let's just say my boss's sick sense of humor is one of the reasons I still work here :-)

Well, if you search for "little man in a boat" with SafeSearch on, a clitoris related result is #1.

Is this something they do on purpose, or is it something that they do with math? Like, if a word's threshold of porn terms is high enough, it just ends up on the banned list, or something?

I mean, I don't know, probably not, but I know they use a lot of math at Google, and it's something I'd like to know, anyway.

@braak: I'm sure there's some sort of complicated algorithim. If w is the word, x is porn sites, and wx is greater than or equal to 30,000 than your search is not valid, you dirty, dirty person.

@braak:

yap i think you're right. some complicated algorithm to complicate porn searches. another example of engineers sometimes "overthinking" the obvious.

cause you know when you just type "porn" into the google search engine, you've got your pick of dirty sites! duh!

This is only marginally related, but in my phone's T9 dictionary, "vagina" is a word but "penis" is not. Why is that??

@Brianne: late, but anyways: my T9 makes "pussy" into "puppy" which provided for plenty of giggles when I was dirty texting my husband back in the long-distance stage of our relationship.

I don't want to burst any Jezzies generalization-bubbles, but I can find the clitoris in the dark, with both hands tied behind my back, using only my tongue. I have been happily married for 14 years.

@I_can_still_pitch I suspect the former fact has a good amount to do with the latter.

@elsbels: I wasn't trying to be (overly) vulgar, I am just saying that you would have to be pretty lame, backwards or just plain self-absorbed to be a man in this day and age to not know about the clitoris. Or Mormon I guess.

@I_can_still_pitch:

You say that, but the clitoris was removed from our health books in high school, and let's just say no guys found mine until college, when I moved away.

Funny. When I googled douche, only two results came up. One for a pharmaceutical company, and the other for Tucker Max's blog....

It's not like half the population searching Google knows anything about the clit to begin with...

Nah, they NEVER ask for directions, anyway.

@BettyCrockerPunkRocker: A carful of guys once asked me for directions to my vagina while I was standing on a street corner. They even phrased it politely: "Excuse me, ma'am, but could I trouble you for directions to your vagina?" I guess that's a first step.

@mbot: Seriously??
I must be a sicko, because my first reaction is to find that funny, in a really sophomoric, potty-mouth kind of way.

I'm annoyed at them for not asking for directions, and when they DO, it feels like a disqualifying kind of question. "Hey lady, where's your ba-gina?" for the lose. Really, they can't win.

@BettyCrockerPunkRocker: No, I think it's funny too, and normally nothing fills me with seething rage like a catcall. But this was just so absurd, I couldn't be offended. The light changed right after, so they just drove off, leaving me standing there with my mouth open in shock.
