Something Deeply Cursed Just Showed Up in a Certain Beauty Guru's Google News Feed

The Google News feed in question has, at this point, indexed dozens of obituaries for men who share a name with its intended subject, one NZ Herald entry that has appeared three separate times, a Mshale sports article, and at least one headline so garbled it appeared to involve Sigourney Weaver. On August 28, a new content type arrived: a headline reading, in full, "[[PORN~VIDEO]] James Charles viral hot sex Video on Twitter - Air and Space Museum." The outlet listed is the Air and Space Museum. No further context was provided by the source, because there is no further context.

For the record, the same August 28 crawl also surfaced an obituary for James Sogor (1937-2026) of O'Fallon, Illinois, via the Belleville News-Democrat, and a Channel 3000 entry for one James Charles Gant. The feed's subject, the YouTube makeup artist with roughly 24 million subscribers, has not commented on any of this.

What happens next

Open questions include whether Google's indexing systems flag or remove the explicit spam entry, and whether the feed will continue expanding into categories beyond obituaries, crime reports, and sports journalism.
