Cancel Google

Originally published by "dbarker" on 2007-10-18 08:54:00Z

Note: This site is not Google. I cannot help you remove Google from your home page, except to refer you to this links:

How To Change Your Home Page: The instructions for Internet Explorer 5 and 6 work the same for Internet Explorer 7.

Google Answers HCI PhD Program: This page comes up first when you Google for “cancel google.” The page happens to allow comments. The results, like we’ve seen before, are hysterical.

I WANT TO TAKE GOOGLES OFF OF MY HOME PAGE

[…] I did not authorize google to invade and set up on my computer. If this was my house/home the offending person would be under arrest. Google can fry for doing this

[…] Remove my name from your list NOW. I don’t and won’t be a part of a left wing liberal operation like yours. You can sign up all the MOVEOVER.Nuts your want but leave me out.

And they go on and on, despite repeated warnings and, apparently, repeated mass deletions by the site owner.

This page now shows up as #1 for “cancel google”. I initially deleted all comments related to that but eventually found it so amusing that I had to let them through. I get a chuckle out of the “don’t be evil” mantra and then reading these comments.
