Google has blocked any firearm and knife result from its Shopping Search Engine citing:
4) Google Shopping should be compatible with Google’s brand decisions. Google Shopping must be compatible with company brand decisions. Our company has a strong culture and values, and we’ve chosen not to allow ads that promote products and services that are incompatible with these values. In addition, like all companies, Google sometimes makes decisions based on technical limitations, resource constraints, or requirements from our business partners. Our policies reflect these realities.
So this is against their strong culture and values:
Yet this must be a common place item in Google’s Family households:
Apparently the ability to anally rape yourself has a higher cultural value than being able to defend yourself. Then again Google is based just over 35 miles south of San Francisco which might explain the selection of items for sale.
I think I’d rather get shot or knifed than anally impaled.
No! No! No! Nothing anally 🙁
Is the result tied to your location? Here in OK, I can pull up a kershaw blackout and a Kimber Pro-Carry II without problem.
As I understand, servers in different locations were updated at different times, so there may have been some delay for you. Try it again; it’ll go away shortly.
Wow. Yeah…I tried shopping for a Springfield XD, and got the same messge. I didn’t try the kinky sextoys, though…good to know where their values lie!
Hmm… I’ll bet I could defend myself with that. Watch out muggers!
I am more concerned on why you would think to search for such an item…the anal thingy…
…
Sometimes Google will surprise you when you least expect it.
-facepalm-
Upon reading that, I am reminded of what people on Day of Defeat would say upon knifing/punching/shoveling someone from behind.
And it seemed appropriate.
Then I slapped myself in the head.
No, google can’t surprise me anymore. Annoy, certainly, P me OFF, lots. But not surprise. See, they are lying little leftoids, and with all leftoids, what they say is what they have already done, and would like to blame you for. So that whole “Don’t be/do evil” thing they used to throw around is in fact who and what they are – Evil! They got into bed with the commie Chinese .gov and didn’t even blink an eye, at least until the .gov started to make them do stuff that cut into the old profit margin and/or information gathering line of business, so they split.
[…] What you can and cannot buy at Google shopping. […]
Do a search for “Water Pipe” or other drug paraphernalia.
Yeah I know that the “Head Shops” will always state that the pipes are used for enjoying tobacco, but ask anybody walking out of those shops with a bag what they’re going to use it for.
And while some states allow for medicinal use, or possession of small quantities without criminal penalties, the DEA trumps them…and google sells it.
I don’t have any issues with people selling anything really, but once you start making judgement calls, I’m going to start judging your judgement.
So I guess we now know what The word GOOGLE actually means. Only your proctologist knows for sure.
Just googled “smith and wesson” and there was no problem. Received multiple pages but then, I’m in Texas. Goggle knows better than to mess with Texas! At least for now,,,,
please make sure you’re on google SHOPPING before saying you’re getting results… this entire thread is about the shopping site, not the google web search engine
What’s interesting is that I have no problem with any gun or ammo searches at work, on a D.o.D. computer. But when I get home, nothing will come up.
I am a proud social liberal, and I support the right of all human beings to buy guns, and to anally impale themselves. (If they REALLY want to.) :-/
