Default Jan 31, 2009 - Google Destroys the Internet

As of this morning, every single Google result and link shows "this site may harm your computer...." and prevents you from surfing to the website. You can't access anything through it.

Thanks google, good job on not being evil, you've just ruined the entire internet. Every single website in the world is flagged and blocked!

Google finally tells us the truth about itself! Google may harm your computer! Jan 31 2009 is the day when we awaken from our brainwashing! Google is the new 1984!

It's happening to me too, no idea what's going on, but it's annoying as hell.

Good job on not being evil Google. It was funny at first (all the messageboards are buzzing) but it's actually a bit scary, I realized how reliant I am upon Google. If they ever decided to change how things are setup or impose any form of censorship, you would be helpless and not even realize it.

It stands to reason that only you would be really proud of that.

Google Ultra just increases the number of porn results by a couple of order of magnitudes... so now you can be jealous too.

I'm not really jealous because normal Google seems to do the trick, but what is the deal with it? Or are you joking?

Is this booble ver 2.0?

(FYI: the link is not actually of booble, but of the google search result, so it is SFW)
