Last night, my friends and I played our new favorite game...Telestrations. For those of you unfamiliar with the game, just imagine if the games Pictionary and Telephone had a baby. (Yes...Telephone...that game where you whisper in each other ears and what was said to the first person may or may not be what the last person says.)
Well, one round last night involved the phrase "surprise party" (which, oddly enough, was a phrase we had the last time we played this game, also resulting in insanely disturbing imagery), and the first person drew someone with their hands on their face making a "surprised" face. You know what I'm saying here, right? Of course the character with the surprised look on his face was interpreted by the next person as none other than...you've got it...
Macauley Culkin. And although the phrase "surprise party" did not make it very far down the chain, that same image of Macauley Culkin putting the aftershave on his face did.
So that got me thinking...would Google also immediately think of that iconic moment in Home Alone when anyone typed "Macaulay Culkin" into its search field? Would that image be found in the majority of its search results? Of course, I had to try it out:
