I'm feeling lucky!
"failure". Google it, but hit the "i'm feeling lucky" button instead of search. It's been like that for a while now. If i owned google, I'd take out that button, it may lead to unnecessary law suits.

The i'm feeling lucky button automatically clicks on the highest rank page. Therefore it isn't decided by google, only there ranking algorithm. Part of their ranking algorithm is based off popularity. So the more people who click on these things the higher up in the ranking they go. At one point (maybe still) used bots to move their pages up until they were the first hit. Thus google isn't directly involved with the i'm feeling lucky searches.
Also as long as were looking at them try (all really funny): liar french victories terrorist sympathizer

It's called Google Bombing. It's when a whole bunch of people link to a page with a 'irrelevant' link description, but the google algorithm doesn't know that. So when it bases the page rank by the amount of people who link to the with the word 'failure', it shows up first, just because everyone has linked to it. You get the same thing when you type in "miserable failure". It's been around for a while
