Reader Firefly alerted us last night: Our attempt to Google Bomb asshead extraordinaire, Bill Napoli, has been a rousing success! As of 6:45 a.m. on March 10, 2006, the number 1 Google result for Bill Napoli is our definition page.

For posterity:

Everybody now: SNOOPY MOTHERFUCKING DANCE OF JOY!

This is a symbolic victory, of course. The ugly fight is just beginning. If you live in states that are being affected by these recent attempts to ban abortions, such as South Dakota, Mississippi and Tennessee, write to your reps. Write to your newspapers. Make some noise. VOTE. Those of us who don’t: We can make some noise of our own, and give money/volunteer as we can to the groups who will be fighting these sorts of legislation.

The three big ones:

Planned Parenthood
NARAL-Pro Choice
ACLU

As always, any suggestions for other worthy organizations are welcome, as well as suggestions for other types of concrete action we can take.

p.s. This childish of me, but: Holy shit, we totally introduced a new term to the Internet. GLEE!

I’m so proud!
I really do thin you ought to add that sentence from the Urban Dictionary to the definition...it’s fabulous.

“Did you hear? Laura’s dad totally napolied her, but according to Utah law, she still has to obtain his permission before getting an abortion.”

Congratulations!

We can keep it there by linking to it again with a victory post, just like mine.

Yeah, yeah, that should have been it.  Helps if I add the .com to my link.

That’s fantastic! Congrats. You’re like the collective Beyonce of the Internet now. “Napoli” is your “Bootylicious.”

Samantha: Done and done!

Sarah F: YES! Thank you. Excellent suggestion.

Eden: Pfaaahahahaha. Oh dear. We’ll take what we can get. At least you didn’t say Kelis.

Wait...I’m confused by this Napoli bit...shouldn’t the girl who is waiting for marriage because of religious conviction also be (according to the religious right) against abortion, and therefore wouldn’t get one?

Picture of azteclady azteclady said on...
03.10.06 at 03:40 PM |

Yes, but do not worry, it’s okay - the choice wouldn’t be *hers* since it would be determined by someone else whether the pregnancy would pose a risk to her or not.

Wanna bet that the someone else making the decision would be male?

First, super cool.  I’m ashamed to admit that I’m not sure I was helping with the google-bombing.  I did a post on my blog linking to your site and then to the napoli definition page.  Could this help?  Seriously, tell me if I’m doing it wrong.  It may be number one now but I want it to be used on the next Jon Daily show.  Once we hear it, we’ll know that you guys are Da Winnas!!!!  I really think you can do it and I just want to make sure I was some sort of help.

That was my entry - just said don’t follow the link if your bloodpressure is already too high.

My computer says it is 11:50pm and I googled Napoli and your definition is number one and your asshat post has come in second.  A double whammy!!

Congrats,

Congratulations, Candy. I feel like the little kid with chocolate on his hands and face, waving his hand as the rest of the family gorges themselves on Mom’s chocolate cake (is this a tortured simile, or what?): “I helped! I helped!”

Now: please do the same thing to Bill O’Reilly, that sexual-harassing SOB. Please. I’ll help, and I betcha lots of other people will, too.

I have to say, I still don’t understand what a “googlebomb” is. I’m pro-life, myself, but I think that what Napoli says is pretty much ridiculous. I don’t think women should have abortions, but I think we should have the right to choose, anyway.

Dude!  I’m #6 on Google for Bill Napoli, right behind the SBs, PBS, Crooks ‘n’ Liars, CNN, and the Napolizer himself.

I’m sure it won’t last, but hey, it made my morning.

We’ve napalmed that sucker!

AnimeJune - I don’t think women should have abortions, but I think we should have the right to choose, anyway.

That is one of the best sentiments I’ve heard.  Thank you for being open minded enough to allow every woman to chose, unlike Napoli.

why not contact bill directly, gloat in person as it were? here’s his contact info. http://legis.state.sd.us/sessions/2006/mbrdt128.htm

Napoli’s “definition” is an insult to both sides of the issue.  It’s obvious why it’s insulting to those who are pro-choice.  As for pro-life—if you believe abortion is morally wrong and constitutes the murder of a human being, then it’s wrong even if it is done by a nice, religious, raped virgin. 

What an asshat.

Bill Napoli has been well and truly bombed. I salute your effort and am pleased I got to take part in it.

But though I came for the google bombing, I think I’ll stay for the awesome blog and the smart bitches. :D

The cool thing about this effort is that it demonstrated, to people on both sides of the issue, just how delusional and misogynistic many pro-life politicians are.

I’m firmly for the right of choice - a woman has to have the right to decide for herself what happens to her own body. Period.
I read an article over at Tennesee Guerilla Women about this and it just made my blood boil. I’m off to google!

Picture of azteclady azteclady said on...

A few minutes after 5PM EST - still number 1 Google result!

Hats off to all the smart bitches, wherever they may be found!

BTW, before I published it, I ran spellcheck on my blog post about Napoli and the whole South Deepshit situation - which included a link to your great Googlebomb page. 

The spellcheck program didn’t recognize “Napoli” and kept offering to change it to “Nipple.”

There’s a joke in there somewhere. . .

After seeing this, I thought I’d help keep the Napoli entry‘s status and link to it a few times in my LJ while encouraging my friends to do the same. I must say, though, my friend Kybok was by far the most dedicated to the Googlebombing.

Congratulations on the complete success of your Googlebombing and for making the internet a little better (and funnier) place.

As of 9 a.m. EST Monday, you’re back on top in the top two spots when you Google “bill napoli”.

Next time someone asks you ladies if you’re doing good, you can answer, “Why yes, as a matter of fact, I am doing good.”

Could you list Bill Napoli’s e-mail & snail mail addresses? I want to let him know my donation to NARAL is in his honor. And to thank him for shaking us out of our complacency and reminding us Pagan non-virgins that we are not safe. What is next? Witch hunts?? Those were the days...when they could just throw rocks at knocked-up, amoral sluts. My advice to women in South Dakota, move. As far and as fast as you can.

Picture of Candy said on...
03.13.06 at 02:50 PM |

Those of you interested in sending love notes to Senator Napoli, his contact information is listed on the South Dakota Legislator Information site.

It’s a pretty cool idea, actually. I think I’m going to send him a copy of my receipt of my donation to Planned Parenthood and the ACLU.

And once again, thanks to all of you for helping for a good cause. Brings a wee tear of happiness to me eye.

The e-mail form for Napoli allows attachments. I attached my donations to NARAL Pro-Choice and Planned Parenthood to the e-mail.

Silly? Spiteful? Yes, yes, and I don’t care.

I have to say KUDOS to the SB’s… Abortion is not a PERSONAL CHOICE for me, however… It was a personal choice for my best friend, and since it was her CHOICE, I supported her RIGHT to choose. I supported her choice in receiving LEGAL medical care rather than being subjected to a back alley abortion.  I would only pray that my daughter makes the choice to abstain until marriage, but in all reality, and in this day and age, I doubt very seriously that is gonna happen.  Therefore I CHOOSE as a parent to teach my daughter how to protect herself and the inform her of choices that she has and (as long as my vote counts) will continue to have.  Thanks for letting me voice my choice.  God Bless all SB’s and their loved ones.

Did you know that in response to this law, the president of the Ogala Sioux nation, Cecilia Fire Thunder is now working to start a Planned Parenthood at Pine Ridge. As a sovereign nation, South Dakota law won’t affect them.
