Don't panic: the original article which makes up the bulk of Google fodder, is currently the 5th most linked-to article on the NY Times. That means it starts with a few hundred syndicated versions on the web, typically at news sites with much higher rankings, and most other versions will be linked-to much more often, making THEM the higher-rated links.

We cannot be afraid to talk about stuff, even offensive stuff. If it's personally revealing or hurtful to people here that's another matter, but we can't be afraid of Google or any other site.
