Update on searching Oiho on Google

I blogged earlier on the results from googling Oiho, Obama's famous bodily misspelling of Ohio. I speculated that Google might not remove their auto-correction, but it looks like they have. Top of the list is Twitchy.com referring to the mishap as Obama's Dan Quayle. So, good.

Also check out IMAO's "Fun Facts" page on OIHO. Hilarious. My fave:

The state is named “Oiho” which is a Native American Warren tribe word for “You didn’t build that teepee”.

Don't know if this is Google bias or not

If you Google "potatoe" the results page has oodles of Dan Quayle references. There's no self-correction. On the other hand, Googling "Oiho" gives you the standard auto-correction, with the option to actually search on the Oiho misspelling which, at this point, yields 577,000 results.

My guess is that they are not going to relax their auto-correct to allow for this meme. At least not until the effect blows over. It is not cool to make fun of The Chosen One's many gaffes among the cool kids. Here's another good one from Free Republic's page:

There, I fixed it

Actually, I like the sound of "Oiho". Could be a chant in a Ramones tune.
