    You know where we got this.

    I won’t dignify ComplaintRemover with a link but the folks at Consumerist, good men and women all, chatted with this service that promises to “remove” bad links from the Internet by pushing them down in search results. How do they do it, you ask?

    CLIENT: How does that work? How are you able to get another company to get rid of something that’s part of their business?
    Kelly: we push the negative links back in serch engines
    Kelly: so nobody will see that ones
    CLIENT: So you like make new internets and push the bad internets down
    Kelly: yes
    CLIENT: My keywords are lolcats
    CLIENT: I have a cat breeding business and people keep making pictures of cats with derogatory phrases on them
    CLIENT: It’s hampering my ability to attract new clients

    We still haven’t seen if they’re truly able to remove bad links, but there are some pictures out there of me in a skirt I’d like to remove. I hated my frat.
