Default Google Parody Web Site Closed Down - 06-04-2007, 05:56 AM

Google Parody Web Site Closed Down
Michael Brown 14 Apr 2007 08:51 GMT


3rd Google Parody web site closed down.

On Thursday the 12th of April, yet another website was asked to CEASE
AND DESIST with regards to a parody web site which looked very similar
to Google's home page. The logo for the parody site, spelled "Kookle"
instead of "Google", used similar fonts and colors as Google's own
logo. The now defunct parody site was located at
http://www.caballista.org/auk/kookle.php and now displays a badge of
shame for the site's owner, whose identity is publicly unknown due to
the domain's registration having been made through a proxy service.
This is the third known case in which a Google parody web site was
forced to close down.

I dunno, some guy named Devon McKinnon of Dawson Creek, allegedly, and
according to the Monkey, a pedophile. However, I wouldn't take that too
seriously. The Monkey keeps changing his mind about who I am, so there's
no reason to think he won't change it about Mr. McKinnon, too.

Scroogle http://www.scroogle.org has been up and running for years and I
don't think they are likely to get them down ever.

Google never did have a sense of humor. I'm not surprised that they are trying to close down every parody site.They think they own the internet.

In reality everyone knows it belongs to Al Gore.

You know, I think they should want to keep it up. Isn't parody just a form of flattery?
