So it's like this...

I decided I wanted to have some animated Stars of David, so I went on Yahoo and image-searched "Star of David animated". When one image-searches on Yahoo, on the bottom of the page appear relevant topics, so that if you searched for dog photos, it would show puppies and cats on the bottom of the page as relevant topics.

What does Yahoo dump on the bottom of the page as a relevant topic?
Hitler!! I was like, "What in hell?!!"

How much more simple-minded can you get?! Jews use that search engine, too! Where do they get off?!!!

OK, end of rant... sweatdrop

Yahoo totally fell in my estimation. It's a good thing I don't pay for my E-mail there!

Yeah. I already have a Gmail account.
It's an OK e-mail. I like Yahoo's E-mail setup better, though.

That's not as bad as Google Earth claiming that Jerusalem is in the West Bank.

Let me explain something about Google and other search engines:

They don't decide which links pop up at all, nor in what order the links are listed.

The way to get listed on Google is to use a lot of words on your website that will cause an automated search engine to say, "Aha, this is relevant. Let's pull that up for the person doing the search."

If you do a Google search for Jew, you'll get a lot of websites that mention the word Jew. Google is a machine. It doesn't have values or biases. It just picks the sites with the most instances of the three letters J-E-W within words (such as jewel, jewelry, and mentions of Norman Jewison, who is a non-Jewish movie producer). Of course, you'll also get mentions of Jew, Jews, Jewish, Jewry, Jewess. That'll probably be slightly more relevant to your wishes. However, Google is a machine, so it can't tell the difference between a website that says "Jews are smart, funny, attractive, and they smell good, and I want to be a Jew" and a website that says "Jews are ugly, stupid, dirty, immoral, and I want to kill Jews."

Don't bother getting offended at a machine that can't tell the difference. It's just doing its job.

Yeah, but the thing is that the people who program it could have told it not to bring up Hitler when one searched "Star of David". Besides, "Hitler" and "Star of David" aren't relevant.
