MSN Search launches with cruel joke about Boing Boing

Microsoft launched its new search service today. I gave it a whirl, with the search string "Boing Boing." At the top of the results stack, MSN Search asked me -- "Were you looking for Bling Bling?" Why yes, as a matter of fact I am, and if you knew how small our checks were... hey, you'd be searching elsewhere, too. Aaaand thank you... I'll be here all week.

Update: Boing Boing reader Matthew Cox adds, "I thought I'd give the new MSN search a try and wanted to see what it would give me if I searched for the 'best web browser.' Discounting the sponsored sites, the first two returned links were to Mozilla/Firefox. IE didn't appear until #8."

And BB reader Jeff says,

I wanted to inform you that when you search for "worst browser" [with MSN Search], the first result is Internet Explorer.
