Who Dugg It?

enumerate, on 01/30/2008, -11/+3werd.
sorpigal, on 01/30/2008, -17/+12Anonymous isn't google bombing Scientology, it's Ebaumsworld.com that's behind it. They get no credit!
- Demilitarized, on 01/30/2008, -1/+6Ebaums is in on this, too, dude. It's essentially all hands on deck.
  - alexiadeath, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4ITs rules nr 1 and 2 of the internet :)
    1. Do not talk about /b/ (Only applies to raids.)
    2. Do NOT talk about /b/ (eBaums did it.)
    - rompom7, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3No one is talking about /b/.. Anonymous isn't /b/. Some Anons come from /b/, some don't.
      
      Also, it kind of takes away from it, when you spell out the rules, which essentially breaks them.
Audacitor, on 01/30/2008, -0/+31Alright. A googlebomb I can approve of. Keep going anon.
- TheSilentNumber, on 01/30/2008, -0/+1So do you disapprove of "miserable failure" ?
RyanDFA, on 01/30/2008, -14/+11That ebaum, always up to shenanigans.
sesstreets, on 01/30/2008, -12/+11Damn ebaumsworld, I think they really should be penalized for this, hell sue Eric, I'm sure he's got a few billion in ad revenue that he can spare.
fernando20, on 01/30/2008, -4/+8crazy ebaums... tsc tsc tsc
and before you digg me down think of rules 1 & 2
Anonymous1138, on 01/30/2008, -1/+5win.
win win win.
accent21, on 01/30/2008, -5/+8***** anon, stealing Ebaums Glory.

Everybody should go to Ebaumsworld.com right now to voice their support on the forums.
- nooreazy, on 01/30/2008, -1/+4We are fighting for the same cause!.
Bateseh, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2lol win.. wd guys
credence, on 01/30/2008, -0/+8Everyone who did this deserves a beer and a hooker. Or ten beers and an ugly hooker.
capitocapito, on 01/30/2008, -0/+8This is effective since the website has "Dangerous" in it's text. This bomb would have been more difficult otherwise.
darnit, on 01/30/2008, -0/+4MOAR!
Demilitarized, on 01/30/2008, -1/+0People supporting Ebaums realize one thing: WE ALREADY KNOW.
If you know what's good for you, you'll keep it to ebaumsworld so that the CoS doesn't DDoS you guys,
- princeofhosts, on 01/30/2008, -0/+1First rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club. :|
  - Demilitarized, on 01/30/2008, -0/+0It's implied.
Advenith, on 01/30/2008, -2/+0Rules 1 and 2. Still, it's been dugg.
bsegovia, on 01/30/2008, -0/+1lulz
alexiadeath, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3This "Anon" phenomena is fascinating...
Mellowmuppet, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3Absolutely brilliant.
modeski, on 01/30/2008, -0/+1http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e99RWTjVfbM
Eruu, on 01/30/2008, -0/+1Awesome. Go Chanology!
binaryloop, on 01/30/2008, -1/+1The $64,000 question: did they change their home page to include the word "Dangerous" in the title or meta tags so they could play this down? Who has a cache of the original homepage before the bomb? My guess is they modified the page post-bomb so they could say: "Here's why it showed up this way..." *****. How many Scifags are here trying to defend their cult?
tynansanger, on 01/30/2008, -0/+1http://searchengineland.com/080130-085627.php
Apparently, Scientologists themselves were responsible for overcoming the google bomb ban by featuring the word "dangerous" on their website.
