I doubt very much that story is valid. Even if they were pulling soem crap like that, why would they talk about it?
No, I'm afraid not. Sounds more like "porn bashing." A favorite past time of people in Cleveland. They still don't like the fact that Larry Made them eat it.

I'm also suspicious of this claim:

"Rich said he embeds holiday-related words, such as Santa Claus or Easter Bunny in his meta tag so that his site will pop up when people type those words into the search engine. Meta tags uses keywords that are embedded in Web sites so they can be indexed by Internet search engines."

How the hell are porn sites with a meta-keywords that includes "easter bunny" going to place ahead of the tens of thousands of legitimate easter bunny sites with good text content about the easter bunny right on the page?

The keywords meta just isn't that influential anymore. This sounds like "internet voodoo folklore" of the sort that clueless reporters amd media types would use spice up an article. That there's some magic command that can be put on the page to make it show up where kids can easily find it.

If nothing else, they need to fire their copy-editor.
