Directory Listing Question - What would you do?

    Ok, so I am doing some editing of web sites today for the KingBloom.com directory when I come across a listing for "google.com".

    Title/Category: Google search engine (Airlines)
    (IP: XXX.XXX.XXX. Omitted)
    Description: Google is a search engine, i think, what do you think?
    Keywords: google search engine
    Email:
    Web site: http://www.google.com

    Now, given the IP (not listed here) is from Romania, I am assuming it is a joke, right? I'm pretty certain it is not Google. In any event it is listed in the wrong category, eg "AirLines" (Transportation and Travel > Airlines). Also, the description is a little out there.

    Anyway, should I just place it in the proper category, clean up the description and accept the listing?

    Anyway, why would someone waste time listing "Google.Com" in my directory? What benefit would it be to them? Anyone else see goofy listings like this, those that hand edit that is?

    Thanx!

    Looks to me like someone from Romania was trying to find out what kind of script you used or if they already knew, how it worked for the end-user

    Yeah, I figured it was someone screwing around or playing... I just found it quite comical...

    Quite funny. Anyway, list it in the appropiate category if it is not listed already.

    That is really funny. Google is looking for some backlinks. Indeed comical.
