Why Google serves porn images for Spanish supermarkets: "The Spanish media has picked up on a curiosity currently in the image search section of the Google search engine.

If you do a search for images of the Eroski hypermarket in Málaga, using the term ‘Eroski Málaga’ a whole series of pornographic images are returned as the result.

It happens in both google.com and google.es and works for other Eroski supermarkets in Murcia and Madrid, and even for El Corte Inglés in Córdoba.

After initial surprise, the reason for the results is clear – Many of the images come from private individuals who have put their profiles and photos up on contact websites, and used the word ‘Eroski’ to indicate in which part of the city they live.

Of course with the story now in the media and on twitter, the number of searches for ‘Eroski Málaga’ has been increasing all day."
