Google News, -Kardashian

So I just figured out how to filter "Kardashian" completely out of my Google News feed. One of the better tricks I've learned all year.

Why would you want to do such a thing! I enjoy regular updates of my favorite well endowed and talentless (at least not the sort of talents you perform in polite company) celebrity!

I'm really unhappy that Google got rid of their + operator. The - operator is still there, but instead of the + I have to enter the required search term in double quotes. Not a big change, but an annoying one, nonetheless.

I've seen the video. She's just as talentless in private (though not as talentless as Paris Hilton). I wish enough people would ignore that whole family so they go away for good.

Big deal how well endowed she is. She and her entire family are simply repulsive. I'll never understand the fascination with those idiots vile people.

EDIT - I merely suspect that they're idiots. However, I *know* they're vile, so edited for clarity and accuracy.

I'm really unhappy that Google took away the direct link to an Advanced Search.

For some reason I cannot get the Google snow thing to happen. As soon as I type "Let it snow" (either with or without quotes) it immediately takes me to the results page, even if I don't hit Return.

They should go back to the Kardashian Sector. I wish Capt. Kirk and the Enterprise never traveled through there.

Thats not too flattering, seeing as how Khloe is built like a man...

Had you named one of the others you'd have gotten a thumbs up!

I'm really unhappy about how Google Instant automatically searches for something that I did not input, and how turning it off doesn't seem to work.

What operators are there other than -? I'm never able to get what I'm searching for in Google, I just get every website that contains the words I searched, and not the actual phrase....then when I put the search terms in quotes it just says "no results found".....

So your ex was built like the other Kardashians, then?

Almost like my wife, only whiter.

Personally, I thought Paris showed some skills. But that may just be me.

They are not idiots. They have executed one hell of a business plan, and have managed to make far more money than that great majority of people who actually have talent in Hollywood.

They are annoying and come off as shallow, but I admire their hustle.

Agreed, few people made so much from so little to offer and that's why I corrected myself. But regardless how brilliant their business plan is, that brilliance will still never offset just how staggeringly vile those people are.
