Last week we wrote about Google's odd habit of putting the Google New Zealand web site as the top result for a ton of queries like Google Ireland and Google Egypt (and the commenters found many more).

I wondered how long it would take for them to make the change. If they did it right away it would be too obvious. They'd probably wait until the middle of the weekend to fix it.

Today, in the middle of the weekend, they fixed it. And now we can link to a clip from The Chaser's War On Everything (which is even better than Flight of the Conchords):
