Syntax of a Googlebomb

Dec 07, 2005 17:29

I'm trying to figure out a way to effectively use Google Bombing as a verb...specifically, how to arrange the direct object and supporting prepositions so that all the important information is included, without sounding cumbersome.

(For those non-familiar with the term, wikipedia, as always, has you covered)

An effective syntax would include both the object of the Google Bomb (possibly as a direct object) and the search words that bring up their result.

Phrases I've been toying with include:
  1. "George Bush was GoogleBombed by liberal bloggers under 'Miserable Failure'"
  2. "In response, the president's supporters GoogleBombed 'Great President' at the White House's biography page."
  3. "After the manager of Kres Chophouse & Lounge fired an waiter for questionable reasons, his restaurant was GoogleBombed with 'gastrointestinal dysentery'"
  4. "Disgruntled residents of Wahsington DC recently GoogleBombed 'National Disgrace' for the Commissioner of Major League Baseball."

Though none of these seem quite right...I can't decide if the phrase or the person should be "GoogleBomb"'s direct object, and which preposition should support the verb.

Any ideas?
