Christopher Hunt of Ogilvy & Mather Dubai used Google autocomplete to bring attention to gender inequality in this print ad campaign for United Nations Women.
Hunt noted that the advertisements, titled Auto Complete Truth, used actual Google search autocomplete results, as queried on March 9, 2013. While different Google users in various countries may see different results, some of the autocompletes referenced in the ad showed in our own quick test (see below for the different autocomplete results for search queries for the exact term, but using "men" instead of "women.")

Below is the result of my own men/women autocomplete comparison (searched Oct 21, 2013 from Southern California). What does yours look like?
For instance, that bit about women being silent in church can probably be explained by people researching the bible verse of a similar sentiment, 1 Cor 14:34. (Note: I used Google to find this reference but do not believe that women shouldn't speak in church.)
That being said, there is still a lot of work to be done in the area of gender equality, and I think this ad campaign will at least get people talking.
I suspect it's possible to manipulate search queries, but that's much more difficult than Google bombing the search results.
