French ruling party having a riot on the Internet
An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
Although struggling with worsening urban violence, President Jacques Chirac's ruling conservative party found the time to make sure it came out on top in Internet searches on the rioting.
The French version of Google returned a sponsored link to www.u-m-p.org, the home page for Chirac's Union for a Popular Majority (UMP), when users typed "riots" and "Paris" (or the French words for riots and suburb, "emeutes" and "banlieue") into the search field.
The link disappeared later Monday, however, after French media discovered it and reported on it.
