This pirate walks into a bar with a big ship’s wheel down his pants. The bartender says, “Excuse me, sir, but do you know you have a ship’s wheel down the front of your pants?”
And the pirate says…

How do I get rid of all Google books and videos in your search results? I don’t want to see them there since they are NOT relevant to what I am searching for!
I don’t understand why you mix in all that. I didn’t ask for it! Did anyone else ask you to do it? Is there any research you can show that people want to see that type of stuff in your search? What you show is your own stuff. YouTube, Google videos. Google books. What’s next? Google Movies? Google Animal Planet? Google Entertainment? Google Classifieds or result from Google Base? It’ll just be stuff from your own company. Who want’s to use Google in the future then? I know I won’t and people in my company are not allowed to watch any type of videos so to us it is totally useless. Books? If want anything about a book I go to a bookstore! If I want to watch a video, I don’t go to Google to search for it. I go straight to YouTube (at least I did but not anymore since there are better ones that has more fresh content than YouTube).
Needless to say, I am disappointed with your search result now, so if you have something I can use to get rid of all the c**p, then I REALLY would like to know how to do it!
