Prank: Google 'complete failure' and Olmert's resume appears

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert received the title "complete failure" in an internet prank set up by Olmert critics. As a result of the prank, anyone who looked up the words "kishalon charutz" (complete failure) on Google's Hebrew site, was directed to Olmert's resume.

A young blogger who did not like Ehud Olmert initiated the prank. He turned to hundreds of readers of his blog and asked them to add links to their sites through the words "complete failure," which would redirect the view to Olmert's sites.

A similar prank was initiated by radical democrats against US President George Bush in which typing the words "miserable failure" on google revealed the president's resume.
