Following sex columnist Dan Savage’s “Google bombing” of GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s last name in 2003, he has now threatened to target his first name, too.
Back in 2003, after Santorum compared gay sex to bestiality, Savage got his revenge by making searches for Santorum result in a particularly unpleasant definition. Essentially Savage gave Santorum a Google problem.
Now that Santorum is back in the running for president, Savage is threatening to redefine his first name with an even more unpleasant definition.
In a video message posted on Web site Funny or Die, Savage says, “Look Rick, you don’t need another Google problem. If you can get all the way through this campaign without man-on-dogging us, I will tear this definition up.”
On the video, which is heavily bleeped out, Savage runs the new definition past a number of Ricks.
On hearing the definition comedian Andy Richter said, “I know my name isn’t Rick, but the new definition is so disgusting that even just having the sound ‘Rick’ in the first half of my last name is scary enough.”
Savage ends the video with the words, “Leave us gays alone or I change the definition of Rick. And its not like you can start going by Dick Santorum, is it?”
