Hosts file not being read/understood

I have a bunch of entries in my hosts file for sites that I want to block. This was working fine as of recently and now the entries get completely ignored.

for example, this is my current host file:

# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost

127.0.0.1 google.com

I just want to do something as simple as blocking google. That code would make sense right? but it isnt!

Anyone have any idea why this is happening or what the solution is? Thanks in advance
