Internet Culture :Re: IRS and SEX

[Joe Barker]

The problem with this solution is that one might have to every search 
imaginable with -sex appended.  "Internal Revenue Service" is part of its 
title -- creative and possibly related to the script of the sex show.  
Any agency name could be part of a script title.  
	One thing that makes this page stand out is the dozens of IRS
internal revenue service strings in the meta keyword section.  That ranks 
it so high in the results.
	I believe we need to simply overlook junk like this in the 
Internet.  It's part of internet culture.  If we think the Web exists for 
information, we are sorely mistaken.
