MTV’s Rock the Vote is honoring Martin Luther King day by linking to MartinLutherKing.org, an ostensibly historical site that quickly devolves into hate speech if you click any of the links. It’s run by Stormfront, a white supremacy group. Did RTV even visit the site before linking to it, or does a pretty graphic link pass for honoring someone these days?

Update: It’s fixed now, and RTV has posted about it (in brief: it looked real and it was ranked highly on Google).

Google has removed the tips feature. Perhaps it was always intended as a test; I don’t know the official reason for its removal. In any case, thanks to Matt Cutts and other Googlers who listened and responded to feedback with an open mind, and over the holidays no less.
