WTF Google?

[tripperfunster]

I am drawing a naked Neville, so I googled images for 'slightly chubby naked man'.

Now, I'm not here to fat-shame,we are all built differently but the #6 image is NOT SLIGHTLY chubby.#6

Neither is #9

How can these two people BOTH show up under that search?

This reminds me of the time I was looking for a picture of two people 'cheating' and being caught by the husband. I googled 'surprised lovers' and got photos of a guy fucking a chicken. Wow. Was I ever surprised!

Search engine fail. My eyes! My eyes! It's about the horns ....
Now I know why the chicken crossed the road.

Wow. Was I ever surprised!

*laughs* I would be too.

Serious answer - Google Image searches are based on words appearing on the web page the image is embedded in, not just metadata attached to the picture itself. If you check the pages, the phrase "chubby" or "slightly chubby" appears on both.

EEEEK! That first guy is not chubby. And Pitt-face, well...no clue. Other than maybe the fact that he's got a fat head?

OMG - NOT THE CHICKEN STORY!! or was it Hedwig?

Reminds me of the time I was googling 'hair sticks' and noticed that one of the links was a porn link. How hair sticks figure into a porn thing, I have no idea, and I'm not sure I want to know.

Wow that first guy. Well, maybe he believes in "if you can't hide it, you might as well flaunt it."

And maybe that last one guy is 'chubby' like Jennifer Lawrence is 'obese' (in Hollywood.)

^THIS!

That is the reason why google image search is very, very frustrating at times and gives you those bizarre results. I very much wish that it would only use the metadata in its searches even if it reduces the amount of results because of that.

I think it's a conspiracy. No matter what I search for, I always end up with at least one picture of Justin Bieber. And I'm like...eh...how exactly is this related to "loki's helmet"?

Also, a bit of random, saw a DHL delivery truck the other day, with one of those name-liscene plates in the window and it read Errol. :D (Harry Potter is EVERYWHERE!)

Google images is a hoot! No doubt.

Yeah, they both showed up because they both contain the keywords you were searching for. The first guy goes by the nickname of 'Chubby Mike' or whatever it was, and the article was about him posing naked for a calendar. The 2nd one actually had the exact wording of 'chubby naked...' at one point. Makes sense to me. Still kinda hilarious when you are innocently (lol, sure innocently) searching the web for something else. XD

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yes, fail for sure!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Intrinsically I know this, but still .... REALLY? I don't get it.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ha! I know I shouldn't mix up actors and their roles, but when he cheated on his wife, I just... stopped liking him even a little bit.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

YES, THE CHICKEN STORY! IT WILL NEVER DIE!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

That last guy is Brad Pitt, voted Sexiest Man Alive like, a bazillion years in a row.

And yeah, they certainly have their own version of fat in hollywood.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ha! It's like the new Rickroll! :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Never a dull moment. ;D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ahaha! You actually READ THE ARTICLE?? D:

I READ INTERNET PORN FOR THE ARTICLES! :D

Oh, me too. It's funny cos I'm not a huge Jennifer Aniston fan, but just thought what he did to her and how he did it was absolutely reprehensible. I can't even look at him now.
