The Inquisitr: Cuil insults Helen Keller, is their target market adolescent boys?

  • Joost Schuur · 1 year ago
    Helen Keller was a staunch, extreme left socialist during her adult life, and the play The Miracle Worker is put on in a lot of middle/high schools in the US.

    Sometimes Cuil is just that smart.

    Ahm, if jokes and quotes about/from Helen Keller, why shouldn't it be on the search engine? I actually think this shows that after all, Cuil has developed smart technology.

    Thanks for making this point. I work for Helen Keller International and was a bit dismayed to see how highly these jokes were featured in the search results - and even had their own tab. It really does an injustice to an incredible woman who spent her life trying to improve the lives of those who were disadvantaged.


    Thanks,

    Yeah, hugely insensitve. Just like the Ads by Google at the top of the very page where this criticism was posted.
    Ads that are purportedly relevant to the topic that say, "All Blinds 25% - 85% Off".

    Information isn't sensitive nor insensitive. That's in the eye of the reader. Give me all the info, I'll decide what
    merits my attention. And then, once it has my attention, if it garners my indignation, well I can take it up with the
    site owner, not the search engine.
