Google Image search - hacked or spoofed?

[MBAtarga]

I've noticed in the past few weeks when using Google image search that no matter what I use as the search item(s), the results will present some expected and other unexpected results. As an example, I was using "antique can opener" for an image search in researching the dilemna for the item in this thread: What is it? Pics included

As a result, I present a partial screen view of the results:


Note:
The image has nothing to do with the text in the Google search field.
The "applicable" text visible in the image preview as shown, contains part of my search request.
The web site where the picture resides - this same website has numerous results posted within this same search result, and it's obvious they don't have anything to do with antique can openers.
There are many occurrences of other sites of "questionable content" with similar

So what's going on here? Has someone figured out how to spoof Google image search results?

Could be stuff left in your cache? So whats in your cache?

That is pretty bizarre.

Did you recently turn off "safe search"?

[emcon5]

My guess is that your search phrase is simply being used in a context other than you are using it. You need to be careful with Safe Search off, you may learn some things mean something entirely different things to some people.

For instance, I was searching for vintage Colt firearms advertisements, and discovered that the word "colt" evidently has some relevance in gay porn.

Pretty happy I did that particular search at home, because the results would be difficult to explain to the HR department.

Jennifer Anniston is stalking you.

Huh. I only got 25 pages of old can openers.

[djmcmath]

Weird. My "antique can opener" search resulted in quite a few pretty bland results.
Then there's this, which obviously has nothing to do with can openers. (That filename, in case you're curious, is something like "spring-break-flashers.jpg.")

My hard drive has about 150 gigs of antique can opener porn now.

When I went through the entire list, I found all of the same pictures. Apparently, there is some "can opener" text on the page.

[cgarr]

I am afraid to even try and search for an "electric can opener" I can hear it now "no Honey I was just searching for a new can opener for you""""

[Mark Henry]

That's odd...everyone knows she's not a can opener...she's a bottle opener.

[Crowbob]

If I ever met er I'd ask er if I can open er.

[Zeke]

That doesn't look like Jennifer. Unfortunately, all I got using the same terms was this:

Irrelevant results aside, is anyone else completely put off by the new image search? Way too much extra crap...the CPU in my laptop howls in overheated misery every time I use the image search now.

The image has nothing to do with "antique can opener"???? Are you serious?

Well here's the breakdown:

(1) - First thought, I'd like to open her can. Certainly that is related. Highly correlated due to the simple fact both share 2/3 of the search parameters.

(2) - Second thought, if I met Jennifer, I could think of no better ice-breaker than to ask, "Would you like to check out my can opener...". Again high correlation.

(3) - Cans have expiration dates, I suspect Jennifer is still going to be fresh even at the ripe age of "toothless" and hence I would still like to open that can. Definitely correlated.

I'd say Google returned a bullseye on this example. No?

Cross-correlations? I bet if you called Jennifer right now and asked her, she's into men who BBQ, know how to use BBQ accessories, and have a BBQ apron which makes one look like a black-smith.

I beg, tell me I am not alone in my thought process!

OK...getting back to the subject matter at hand...

[A930Rocket]

I got nothing but clean pictures. :crying:
