If I were Google's team I would kill this just because it looks very bad for Google.

killing it would probably look even worse, as google would be attacked for censorship.

also, the site in question comes up first on bing, yahoo, and duckduckgo.

I just searched "Santorum" on DDG, and every result for the first few screens is in fact about Rick Santorum the politician and not about that disgusting definition.

Huh, I did this just now and it's the top result.

edit: Ah ha, it only shows up if you have safe search off.

Maybe Google should follow suit and flag the "santorum" site as requiring safe search. It does focus on sexual content, after all, and this way they don't have to tweak their algorithm.
