Like a House of Cards

Google is pissed off at J.C. Penney, and I for one think it's hilarious.

You see, J.C. Penney has been caught red handed manipulating the Google Search Engine. For the past few months, they've been the number one hit for dozens of different things, from tablecloths to dresses to area rugs. They were even showing up before the brand's website sometimes.

And that's not allowed, according to Google.

So what does Google do, since this is actually legal? They push Penney's search results all the way down to the 70th spot, rather than the first. Ouch. I don't even think I go past the 4th spot (unless I'm looking for something that is impossible to find by Googling it). That's insane.

I will never even consider breaking Google's search guidelines and rules. Their wrath is one to be feared.

I would also like to note something else.

I need a new watch. This is, believe it or not, hard to decide. Swatch just has some awesome watches.

I have spent the last 45 minutes to an hour looking at watches, asking my friends to help me decide, and again looking at more watches. I've found them on Amazon, searched for local Swatch retailers, and tried to get them for as cheap as possible with free shipping.

Thankfully, I know most History of Journalism. Muckraking is silly.

There is one thing I really wish I could do in class, that I can't and never could. Edit video. If I was able to do that, my life would be so much easier. I would get literally the only homework I actually get done during classes that I don't pay attention in otherwise. It would be nice, but alas, it's not happening.

I think I'm actually starting another blog/commentary thing. Or something. All I can be 100% sure about is that I have officially changed the name of my video series BrickBreakers to Bears In Suits. Go figure.

List of the day:
Things I Have Been Exposed To Since I Arrived at Purchase:
1) WWE (never would have bothered otherwise)
2) Peep Show (It's Mitchell and Webb)
3) Arcade Fire
4) Apparently I'm a Good Camera man
5) Bezzerwizzer (look it up)
6) Katy Perry actually being good (Shut up)
7) SNL is funny again

That's actually quite a bit...

Anyway, song in the title is:
"Firework" by Katy Perry. Yes. I like Katy Perry. Don't even bother.

The week sucked. Next week should be good. Fingers crossed.
