Google Image search - hacked or spoofed?

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: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/567141-what-pics-included.html

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?
