Google, Phil Donahue, and the Born Criminal

University of Minnesota Sociologist & Criminologist Christopher Uggen recently blogged about using short video clips to augment lectures. One resource mentioned in that post is Google Video. This is the new service offered by Google serving up video streams of varying lengths on all sorts of things.

Since I'm teaching today about the foundations of positivist criminology and its linkages to Eugenics, I thought I'd see what a search for "Born Criminal" would turn up in the google search engine.

I think either the Google folks need to tweak their algorithm, or there's more to Phil Donahue than meets the eye! .
