Jill Filipovic
From tigtog:
This is a crosspost to effect a Googlebomb, correcting an injustice against a fellow feminist blogger.
Jill Filipovic, who blogs at Feministe and Ms. JD, is a NYU law student who has been the subject of cyber-obsession on a discussion board allegedly populated by law students. The discussions regarding Jill Filipovic (and many other female law students) are sexist and sexual in nature, rating the women’s physical attractiveness and fantasising about sexual contact, both consensual and non-consensual. Neither Jill Filipovic or any other of these women contributed, or gave their permission to be discussed, to the discussion board in question.
Jill Filopovic‘s name and class routines etc have been regularly posted to this board, and at least one of the pseudonymous board-members claims to be Jill Filipovic‘s classmate. Photos that Jill Filipovic posted (with full rights reserved) to an internet photo-storing and sharing site have also been posted to the sleazy discussion board without her permission. This is a horrendous invasion of Jill Filipovic‘s privacy, a violation of copyright law, and calls the ethics and character of the alleged law-students participating in these discussions on the discussion board into question.
A major side-effect of an already nasty situation is that the sexist, objectifying cyber-obsession threads come up on the first page of internet search results on Jill Filipovic‘s name. To an inexperienced user of the internet, it may even look as if Jill Filipovic and other female law students chose to compete in these Hot or Not rating competitions, instead of having their pictures posted without permission.
This post is an attempt to balance those internet results to point to the significant writings of Jill Filipovic instead, using the Googlebomb tactic and also linking this post to social networking sites (eg. del.ici.ous, Stumbleupon). Please feel free to copy any or all of what I’ve written here to your own blog in order to help change the top-ranked search engine results for Jill Filipovic. If you don’t have your own blog then please at least link to one of Jill’sthispost[s] listed below at your preferred social networking site and give it the tag “Filipovic” (as well as any others you think appropriate).I have linked to these sites in this post:

Note: A database glitch in 2008 ate a bunch of archived comments. Don't be offended if yours isn't here, or confused if the conversation seems disjointed. Thanks!
how does this work? I’d like to post that to my blog, but do I have to go through and make sure that all the links are there?

Done ....
and because of things like these, that although I love fotography ... I try not to upload on internet pictures of people, or at least not publicly ... having a picture of mine manipulated would be sad ... but that of somebody I took a picture of ... even worse ...

Thanks, Chris - DONE.
There are true sleazeballs out there.

sravana, for future reference, you can click in your browser on View-Page Source (Firefox) or View-Source (Explorer), which gives you a screen with all the html details, and cut-and-paste from that. Just takes a bit of an eye to get the chunk you want.
To confirm that it is OK, you can paste it to a text file on your PC, save it with a .html extension, and open that in your browser.
