GoogleBombing Gets Top Results and 3-year Prison Sentence

It's Friday.

A young coder in Poland GoogleBombed the website of his country's president. His code worked. Got him the top result for the president's website. For several months, in fact. The keyword? Kutas.

And for that he was arrested and faces a 3-year prison term.

I think the president should bring him on to his campaign staff and turn him loose but with a different word. He's got something that works. Now he just needs to put it to use, ahem, with the proper audience, so to speak.
