Googleism...

Now we have a place to pray for better search results!

For a moment I thought is was April 1.
This dude (from Ontario even) is whacked. Google isn't a deity, though they might qualify as a saint in the same metaphor. I wonder, even though the homage is flattering, if the big G will take an issue with the logotype and design. Does this qualify as a "spoof" or a "derivative work"?

Google isn't a deity

You and all your sites may rot in the Supplemental Index for all of Eternity for such a blasphemous post. :)

From the webpage:

Proof Google is God
PROOF #3
Google answers prayers. One can pray to Google by doing a search for whatever question or problem is plaguing them.

I can confirm that one. Several month ago I looked through the logfiles of an online shop selling skin care products. I found the following Google search query from a customer that came on the website through Adwords:

"Please god, make my acne go away."

The big G is not pleased. From a search result from the site:

The website you've just visited has tried to provide you with search results from Google. Unfortunately, the site violates our terms of service so your search could not be completed. If you would like to continue with your search, please click the link below, which will take you directly to Google and the results you've requested.

the hate mail is precious. I wish I got (more) mail like that.
