Meme Watch: ReplacementGoogle.com mocks NFL's replacement refs
ReplacementGoogle.com does a thoroughly fantastic job of mocking the NFL's replacement referees by randomly searching for something you're not looking for.

In today's latest installment of "Meme Watch," we turn our eyes to ReplacementGoogle.com, which is not really a real thing and not really sponsored by the NFL, as the creator claims.
But it is a hysterical little idea, because when you Google something, it spits out a totally random and absolutely incorrect search result, which is like the Internet version of what happened at the end of the Packers-Seahawks game on Monday.
To wit, I decided to embrace my narcissistic tendencies and Google myself.

What the site does is redirect you to an actual Google search. Were it remotely capable of doing its job properly, ReplacementGoogle.com would actually search the web for "Will Brinson." Instead, it looks for "Cat Videos."

While searching for cat videos is a much more fun and interesting exercise than looking for me, it doesn't do you a lot of good if you're actually trying to find something. As it turns out, though, Replacement Google is just set up to look for a variety of different, totally random topics. For instance:

Man, this just reminded me that Blaster Master is a sneakily underrated video game. Replacement Google would've been really handy in 1995.
But right now, it's just going to mildly entertain you with sarcastic random searches for cat videos, blaster master, turtles and aardvarks.
