Nice try... But this is completely off the mark. The truth of the matter is that Google Images is behind the times by at least 7 months, if not more. I've got proof....
Update: Later that day, Slashdot posted a new story and discussion linked to this page.
Morgan Webb is currently co-host of the G4TechTV video game review show X-Play. There is stong fan devotion among nerds who can't resist a combination of the semi-geeky flavor of her charisma and her physical endowments. There are millions of livejournals devoted to tracking changes in her hair color, wardrobe, and the size of her... eyes.
Want to see a picture of her? Just do what everybody else does. Use Google Images. My favorite would be the one where she's seated across from a imperial stormtrooper.
Here's a bit of webserver stats from last month for a server that currently hosts about 8 small biz websites.

The page that Google was pointing at, containing the Morgan Webb image, contained 2318 hits in a single month. The kicker?
The page in question has been dead for 7 months.
If you search Google Images for Morgan Webb, you'll find this on page #2, hit #23 :
The man in that photo is known as "MrWolf", as in "MrWolf's Quake Den". If you've never heard of that website before, then you probably weren't around on the internet while Quake was being developed. Before Slashdot, before Blue's News, MrWolf was spending countless hours out of every day finding and posting all of the quality news he came across, way before doing this was cool.
Anyway, the photo was taken a year ago at QuakeCon, and posted on the website for Dmerz Domain LAN gaming center. It closed down back in May and was replaced with a business website. The photo went down with the rest of the content. However, for the last 7 months, Google Images have been sending desperate nerds over to this website. They've simply not updated their collection of images for well over half a year.
