Metro-North station websites feature X-rated search results

Metro-North’s Hudson line is known for its stunning views — but not like this.
Google searches for at least 15 Metro-North Stations produce official MTA websites with “Flirtatious An-l D-ldo For C-ck Hungry Blonde Sl-t” tacked onto the title, the Queens Eagle first reported.
The list of stations now posing as porn clips includes 14 along the Hudson line, along with at least one more — Mount Kisco on the Harlem line.
An MTA rep blamed Google for the glitch, which came to the agency’s attention via Twitter on Sunday.

“This is offensive and inappropriate language that is being generated by a Google search algorithm,” the spokesman, Aaron Donovan, said in a statement.

“There is no issue with the MTA’s website. We reached out to Google yesterday to ask them to fix this immediately. Google needs to fix this now.”

The initial glitch flagged on Twitter on Sunday — Waterbury station — appeared to have been fixed on Monday.

A Google rep explained that the company’s search engine algorithm fills in web page titles with words from other pages that link to it — though typically censors explicitly content.
“This is an error in our systems that we are working to diagnose and fix,” the rep said in a statement.
“We apologize for any concern or offense this may have caused.”
