Googling for terror (and the Homeland Security page sucks less)
Peter Kaminski writes to a mailing list:
Today’s PR trivia: Google for “al qaeda”, and along with the results you get one of two ads:
“Saudi Arabia offers you an opportunity to understand our fight against terrorism. www.aboutsaudiarabia.net”
“Saudi Arabia revoked Osama bin Laden’s citizenship in 1994 and invites you to learn more. www.aboutsaudiarabia.net”
And why is it that if you google “oil”, “war on terror,” or “saddam,” there are no ads, but “homeland security” has eight?
W. David Stephenson points out that the official Homeland Security homepage has been redone. Less overt PR for Ridge and Bush, but still a gigantic missed opportunity.
Frankly, I liked it better when it was an embarrassment. At least then we had something to laugh about. Oh well, there’s always the video of W trying to get a cliche right.

Dear Readers,
Do you want that Palestine will be free?
If your answer is yes, I recommend you the following home page:
http://www.alah.hu
“This image shows the future. A minaret-form skyscraper rises from the
mass of the buildings in New York, the most densely populated city of the
United States. The building is the “Tower of American-Islamic Friendship”.
It symbolizes two things: on one hand there are a growing number of Moslem
people in the U.S.; and on the other hand it shows that the U.S. is in
alliance with the Islamic countries. Due to the new friendship America
does not provide any more financial or military aid to Israel, which leads
to the weakening of Israel and consequently, the freedom of Palestine.”
Sincerely,
Zoltan Biro
