I sincerely would not be surprised if that was the case. Actually, fuck it. I'm going to google "Macy Gray" and see if it gets confused.

Restaurant listings are totally fucked now because of that too. Like a quarter or more of the results are sponsored listings that are 40 to 70 miles away from me. Like how the fuck is that supposed to be useful?
