Google is cruel

Google Search: st. patrick's day
lol
whenever they do this (link to a particular search from their front page logo), the poor site that has the highest PageRank (normally a good thing) gets completely screwed over...the ISP probably gets pretty pissed too
(something tells me it was the same website (wistar.com) that had it on haloween)
seriously though....you'd think they'd check to make sure the first one is ready for this before they do it (although the visitors that DO get in are probably making the site loads of money if there are ads...so i guess its not that bad either way)
