Parents Behaving Badly

Parents Name Baby After “Google”

by joelnet on October 20th, 2005

google-tm.jpgI was a bit nervous going into this post. What happens, I wondered, when you Google “Google”? I imagined some horrible Philadelphia Experiment rupture in the space-time continuum, or the Gates of Hell opening up, or me getting sucked into the computer like Jeff Bridges in Tron, which would be bad because I’m not really good at the video games and would probably end up dying a horrible death, my lightcycle splattered across the virtual landscape. Luckily, none of that happened. Whew!

Why was I Googling “Google”, you ask? Because I needed a pic to go along with this entry. You might be surprised to learn that there really aren’t a whole lot of good images of “Google”. It took me a while to find one that worked. I came across some interesting shots along the way, including one that’s definitely NSFW (it involved a woman’s breasts replacing two of the vowels in the word “Google”. I’m sure you can guess which ones). Really a lot of wasted time and wasted pop culture references, not to mention anxiety over potentially destroying the universe, just to let you all know that a couple of dipshits in Sweden named their kid after the most popular search engine in the world.

(I know - lots of buildup, disappointing ending. Kind of like most of Spielberg’s recent movies. Thanks to Blogging Baby for the story.)
