Stupid.  Negative things come up about every ethnic/racial/religious/political group that you type in (though "hispanics should" results are pretty pareve- e.g. wear suncreen).

Which moron turned this into anti-semitic thing?
If you don't care why would you comment?

I actually read once an interview with 1 of the CEO's of Google ( don't remember which one), the interviewer was an Israeli and he asked him how come when I searched for Jew the first result was an antisemitic one?
So he said that they totally don't control how these results come up, if that's the most common search then that is what you'll get (and unfortunately antisemitism is quite common)...

Also, how can one "nicely" finish the phrase "Jews should".  The word "should" is very suggestive in leading to an insulting comment.

The mumcha.
The joke is going right over my head.  Maybe I'll get it in the morning when I'm less tired.

I understood that part.  Since when do you get רשות when photo shopping a picture?

What I meant was, someone was checking an esrog...then a person decided to make a joke and photoshop a pumpkin.  I would think it would be derech eretz to ask rishus if the person minds me using his picture, no?  (Although, b'etzem, I was not trying to make a serious conversation out of it.)
