XKCD Inadvertently Causes Googlebomb

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the first-rule-of-googlebombs-is-don't-talk-about-googlebombs dept.

MrCopilot writes "As I noted yesterday (and was joined by many others)... in an offhand observation xkcd has singlehandedly changed a small section of the Internet. Changing the results from a Google search for "Died in a Blogging Accident" from 2 to (at this writing) over 7,170 in a little more than 24 hours." If you aren't reading xkcd, you're missing out.

    This is the most blatant Slashvertisment ever. There's already a permanent link to that terminally-humourless web comic on the front page already, does it really need an article -containing- an ad as well?

    Malda, if you're that obsessed over XKCD your wife is probably sizing up other men right about now.
