Sane, Pretty, Smart. So hard to find all three in a woman these days. People who do crap like this have to be handled with care, engage them and it can lead to murder.

I am flabbergasted by the tech savvy of the ex-girlfriend (of course) but also of the mom who immediately knew to contact webmasters to have the image removed from their servers and also to hit it from the copyright angle, too (a law professor perhaps?). However, I don't quite get it when she declares "My minor son's ex-girlfriend took a copyrighted picture of him (we own copyright)", the article mentions it was a professionally taken photo, so the photographer (or studio) owns the copyright in this case.

"Hell hat no fury" is very old, but the girl's revenge is so cool!

It could have been a better read. It doesn't actually tell if the girl in question used SEO/blackhat techniques to rank his name. My feeling is that it was not an act of gaming the image SERPs, it was merely a byproduct of MemeGenerator's SEO optimization.

She just used the Meme's sites optimization, but she named her pictures correctly and etc.

I've met lots of sane, pretty and smart women. I wouldn't let a few exceptions tilt my perspective.
