Google Apologizes for Offensive First Lady Image
Google Inc. is apologizing for an offensive image of the first lady that appears at the top of the list when users search for pictures of Michelle Obama on its site.
A text ad placed above the image is titled "Offensive Search Results." Users who click on the ad are directed to a letter from Google that explains its results "can include disturbing content, even from innocuous queries" but that Google doesn't endorse content on these Web sites.
The letter explains that Google's search formula relies on thousands of factors to rank a Web page's importance, and notes that Google doesn't eliminate search results simply because of user complaints.
"We apologize if you've had an upsetting experience using Google," the company wrote.
