Shortly after I covered the news at Search Engine Land, that article I wrote was put in place of the one cited above. So now my article said Obama was the King of the United States. However, instead of showing a picture of Barack Obama, it showed my picture.

You think the folks who comment here would respect the king a bit more? ;-)
Anyway, this just shows the potential failure with Google Answers.
