The Onion A.V. Club | Savage Love
When you first linked Rick Santorum's name to [description of shitfoam deleted], I thought it would never stick. I was wrong. As someone has probably pointed out to you, if you type "Santorum" into Google, the first three hits are to his Senate web site, the next two are to CNN articles about his comments on homosexuality, and the two after that are about santorum, that frothy mix.
You may have heard about what happens if you type "French military victories" into a Google search engine. (The first hit is a page that says, "No standard web pages containing all your search terms were found.") You might want to post a challenge to all the computer geeks out there to do something similar, Dan, so the first entry a Google search of "Santorum" brings up is your definition, not Sen. Santorum's official web site. Surely that would promote the cause, don't you think?
Santorum On My Mind
It would, SOMM, and I hereby challenge computer geeks to move my definition of santorum to the top slot on Google.
As for the ongoing success of the Savage Love santorum campaign, I could fill the column, week after week, with nothing but notes from people about their own use of the word and the unexpected places they've heard others using it-from the floor of the Wisconsin State Senate to U.S. military bases in Afghanistan!-but, bowing to the delicate sensibilities of my readers (and editors), I'm going to refrain from doing so. Instead, I'm going to put up a web site where people can track the spread of santorum and share their santorum stories. Look for the URL in next week's Savage Love.
Head the call to arms! Make santorum google to Dan Savage's yet to be named web site!
