In Politics, Google Is a Weapon

摘要

If you think you want to be President someday, there's a simple step you can take now to help your chances. Go to a Web registrar like GoDaddy. Search for the domain name that consists of your last name preceded by the word "spreading." If it's available, buy it. If it's not, hope that the person who already owns it shares your political views. The "spreading" meme-started as a way to humiliate then-Senator Rick Santorum for his view on gay marriage-is itself spreading. Google "Mitt Romney" and among the top results is spreadingromney.com, a site that equates the candidate's name with the act of soiling one's breeches.
