As of 10:12 pm EST, In Mala Fide is now the number 8 hit on Google for “vajazzle“:
I’m also the number 13 hit for “vajazzled“:
Click on the pics to see them in their full glory.
I’m also number 7 for “vajazzle” on Google UK, Canada, and France, number 8 on Google Ireland, number 9 on Google New Zealand, and number 10 on Google Australia. And I haven’t checked, but I’m probably on the first page of Googles around the world. In the mere span of a weekend, our campaign of link-terrorism has brought one of the world’s largest corporations to heel. My friends, we are VICTORIOUS!
Many, many thanks to the four dozen (!) bloggers who made this act of search engine vandalism possible. If this were a bar, I’d buy you all drinks, but since it’s a blog, I’m stuck with just links. In no particular order, the folks who participated in this momentous occasion:
Ulysses (who chipped in twice)
PlanetGrok (technically linked in the sidebar, but what the hell)
Advocatus Diaboli (includes a video and pictures of a girl getting vajazzled)
Coldequation (also linked in the sidebar)
Matt Savage (also includes the vajazzling video, as well as video of Jennifer Love Hewitt’s appearance on George Lopez’s show)
Julius Ray Hoffman (NSFW)
Snark (in the sidebar, again)
If I missed anyone, drop me a line and I’ll throw you in.
Commenters fsharp and Breeze left these comments on my previous post:
FB – how about re-interpreting the term ‘vajazzle’ as an insult – a whiteknighter, beta, traitor etc. Someone literally dazzled by the vag. You could legitimately own it then.
Merits an entry in the urban dictionary – lol.
“Man you were vajazzled – don’t worship the pussyâ€.
“Opened the door – what a vajazzleâ€.
@ fsharp. You are absolutely right. Ferdinand should do another post using vajazzle in the new meaning of the word and then we should all link to that post and spam places such as urban dictionary with it. Perhaps it’ll put a stop to the trend.
That’s a good idea, but it got me thinking more deeply. Why hasn’t anyone in the MRA/manosphere conducted any such Google bombing campaigns? Staking a claim on “vajazzle”, a term that was popularized by a celebrity, only took forty-eight bloggers – surely more obscure targets could be successfully attacked by far fewer writers. What if, for instance, we all linked to the blog of female supremacist high school teacher Cord Ivanyi (my blog is number 3 on Google for his name, by the way) with the phrase “the world’s biggest fag”? Pretty puerile example, I know, but there are a near-infinite number of other ways we could exploit this mechanism to push our evil, reactionary, anti-feminist agenda.
This isn’t a call to action. I’m not requesting any more Google bombing from my blogger buddies (for now anyway), both because I’ve burned a good deal of my blogging capital on this exercise and because doing two link-bombing campaigns in such a short period of time will probably trash everyone’s TrustRank. But it’s something to think about. If we’re serious about showing up the feminasties, we can’t be nice or polite about it. We have to get mean and nasty, and be willing to get down in the mud and kick our enemies in their faces until they cry uncle.
Until then, let us bask in the glory of our accomplishments. Vae victis!

A noble goal it was!
Proud to have been part of it, just keep posting those photos, that’s better than a Belvedere martini, and a whole bunch cheaper :)
It wasn’t exactly Project Mayhem, but it was a project and the likelihood of needing either a lawyer or a mortician was much lower. Besides my drink of the evening was a Hot Toddy with a Nyquil chaser and most bars don’t serve that. Yet.
I’d do it, but my blogs were torched from a virus, so while I’ve gotten my host to put them back in an intact form, the back end of WordPress is still crap.
I should have also said that JLH getting vajazzled is too little too late. She is old with a fat arse now. No amount of vaginal decorations can change that fact. Unfortunately she should have flaunted it when she was young and giving us nudes. Now she seems like a desperate aging former beauty struggling to be considered hot…tis a tragedy worthy of Shakespeare.
Congrats Ferdinand, make sure to savor the moment.
I like the idea of mobilizing around issues and topics.
Just watching this “journalist” at Forbes get battered in the comments was very satisfying:

Boy you weren’t kidding about Julius Ray Hoffman’s blog being NSFW…
Ironically (is that the right word?), this blog is already on the first page for “the world’s biggest fag.” Be careful what you type next time. Heh.

@ Luvsic: I just read those comments and it was good for a morning laugh. I wonder where all those commentors come from. Are they the usual men who read Forbes or did word get around the MRA-sphere?
I’ve made a new one line post to hype your post. :-)
Damn, now I’m coming up #4 for “vajazzeled.” I hope you’re happy now that you’ve corrupted my blog, Mr. Bardamu.
Thursday:
Hey, I’m not the one who made you spell it wrong ;)
Have you seen this?

Photo documentation of vajazzling.
grerp:
Yep. Advocatus Diaboli and Matt Savage both posted it to their blogs.
Just went to AD and saw the video (which I didn’t see yesterday on theluxuryspot.com). Also viewed the initial JLH interview on George Lucas and a DIY vajazzling vid on youtube. The Swarovski crystal bit is a press-on sticker. So we are getting stickers put on ourselves to make us feel good. What is this – kindergarten?
