Talk about guilt by association! Mouse over the name of a convicted child rapist and what pops up? The photo of America’s favorite drunken uncle, Ted Kennedy, who was never once convicted of such a crime. FOR SHAME, YAHOO, HE HAS CANCER AND EVERYTHING. Thanks to Wonkette Mouseover Outrage Operative “Bobby” for bringing this grave injustice to our attention. [AP via Yahoo]
Wow, Yahoo has a psychic server that can point to the real purveyor of crimes … a regular Pentium Mason.
I guess that’s why I keep seeing David Vitter on Pampers Ads.
When the article deals with a criminal named Patrick Kennedy, the Supreme Court opinion is written by Anthony Kennedy, and the whole thing is avatared by Ted Kennedy, a healthy question arises: WTF is up with all the Kennedies?
At least he didn’t drown a woman and then try to cover it up. What? Okay, so there’s this family of traveling vaudevillians, pitching their act to a booking agent…
The Yahoo servers have been discombobulated ever since they heard that R. Kelly was running for Senate.
This is just like how everyone blames 9/11 on bin Laden’s namesake, Barack bin Laden.
is every “wonkette operative” named bob, bobby, or some derivative thereof?
I always knew Patrick Kennedy was creepy, but wow. Now who will represent the good (ha, not really) people of Woonsocket, Pawtucket and Central Falls?
Heck’uva job, Yahooie!
This is what you get when you try to replace real live journalists with teh Googlez. Stop laying us off, fuckers!
If you think that’s curious … when you scroll over Antonin Scalia’s name on that page, a picture of the Virgin Mary giving herself an abortion with a wire hanger shows up.
Geez, if you mouse over the “Hussein” in Barry’s name, do they show Saddam?
nbawriter: And if you scroll over Clarence Thomas’ name, it just pops up a note that says “See: Antonin Scalia, black version”
See Microsoft? Might actually be good you couldn’t buy Yahoo. Their search engines are worse than yours!
nbawriter: Thanks, peed m’self at work again!
Ted Kennedy also put down ‘Ol Yeller (and Bambi’s mom), willed the space shuttle Challenger to explode, and created Crystal Pepsi. What a monster.
nbawriter: I have that picture in my living room. It’s a real conversation starter.
Subtly?! Those mouse-over balloons are almost as jarring as a DC bus ride.
Deepthroat: I KNEW it! Crystal Pepsi DOES give you brain cancer! It really is all connected!
AxmxZ: Just wait until the Dead Kennedies drop an album. How much confusion will that create for Yahoo? Serious.
But erroneous mouseover baloons are an internet tradition.
The court ruled that the death penalty can only be applied to those who have killed someone. I can’t imagine what that has to do with Ted Kennedy.
loudmouthredhead: It has all the great taste of regular Pepsi, without that troublesome opacity.

This is better then those gmail ads where your friend talks about their new dog and there’s a link to “Find the best beastiality today” to the right of the screen. Ahhh, doubleclick.
Even McCain fixes mistakes on his website within moments of them being posted on Wonkette. Get a move on yahooooooooooooooooooooooo.
ForeignSickSpecialist: Kennedies?That’s hilarious.
It’s Dead Kennedys.
The plural of Kennedy is not Kennedies.Jello Biafra knows that.
William Irwin Thompson wrote “In this world of information overload, the benumbed citizen no longer reads or thinks; he watches and feels,” which is the excuse I use for never reading anything, and the reason I completely unprepared to snark this post. So I’ll just say “YEAH…WHAT HE SAID…FUCK DAT!”
ForeignSickSpecialist: Aw, man, why’d you have to go and invoke Yahoo Serious?
Outstando:
Apparently I’m not the only one who decided to go off his meds last week.
Some radio station should celebrate this ruling by not playing a Dead Kennedys song.
To twist the knife a bit more an ad for “low cost life insurance” is next to it.
SocialList: I like mine better.
Teddy Kennedy killed the Lindbergh baby!
That is one internet tradition I wasn’t aware of.
masterdebater:
Now that’s a cover-up. And proof that Teddy DID kill the Lindbergh baby!
shortsshortsshorts: As someone who has to implement DoubleClick technology, let me be the first to agree.
“Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, Son.”
Unless you’re Teddy?
SocialList: Yah, and East Bay Ray! Hell yah! Gotta admit, “California Uber Alles” was prophetic, and The Governator has followed. And “Too Drunk to Fuck” is timeless, like Teddy K.
Oh yeah… you get really ugly results when you mouse-over Jello Biafra.
