The social media is abuzz with the phrase "completely wrong," which on a Google image search returns page after page of photos of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
While many find this curious and amusingly strange, other users wonder if the Internet-giant is showing its political colours. Google has made it quite clear that it is an unintentional result of normal Google analytics which return images on the basis of popular trending phrases in news headlines and search items.
It all began when Romney, during an interview on Fox News, said his controversial "47 percent remarks" were "completely wrong."
"Well, clearly in a campaign, with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question-and-answer sessions, now and then you're going to say something that doesn't come out right. In this case, I said something that's just COMPLETELY WRONG," Romney said.
Earlier in the spring, President Barack Obama's election opponent had said that 47 percent of Americans were "victims" and dependent on government which followed a strong political reaction then.
"There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing," said Romney on an undercover video speaking at a private fund raiser function.
The strange incident, particularly at the election time, brings back the memory of many "Google bombs" or intentionally twisted search results for images of politicians. Most famous of all, a search result on a phrase 'miserable failure' returned links that leads to the then President George W. Bush's profile.
Google later tweaked its analytic codes to put an end to that. Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum has also been a victim of the same issue.
