Judging by the 12,100 results returned when I entered the search terms “brokeback mountain” and “eating pudding” at Yahoo, I guess I’m not the first person to make the connection to South Park.
Never mind.

To answer the question you first posed here, I assume the worst about the South Park guys, and conclude that pudding is some sort of euphemism.
Again with the Yahoo! search. So what’s your beef with Google?
Basically, I have a Yahoo toolbar, and My Yahoo is my home page. Yahoo just has a ton of stuff I use — fantasy games, my calendar, my address book, bookmarks (handy when you use a bunch of computers), RSS feeds, TV listings, etc. And they have a fair amount of original content these days.
Given all that, I just think Google is overhyped. Not evil. Just overhyped. And why would I bother going to Google when I have a search box in a toolbar that has so many other things I used?
To be fair — sure, I’ll go to Google for specific things. For maps, I’m torn between Google Maps and the Yahoo beta. Google has some neat search variants like scholarly papers, but how often will I use that in my line of work.
So when I search the Web, I don’t “Google.” They weren’t the first; they’re not the best.
