Booble infringing on Google's trademark?

I wondered how long this would take....Booble, the adult search engine, has been sent a cease and desist order from Google for trademark infringement. Google says:

[...] We have recently become aware of your website at http://www.booble.com (the Domain Name). This Domain Name is confusingly similar to the famous GOOGLE trademark. Your web site is a pornographic web site. Your web site improperly duplicates the distinctive and proprietary overall look and feel of Google's website, including Google's trade dress and the GOOGLE logo.

Your use of the Domain Name and corresponding web site constitutes trademark infringement and dilution of Google's trademarks and unfair competition under federal and state laws. [...]

Booble's attorney's response? The complete text of both Google's cease and desist letter and the response are here

men, advertise your size

link from Amorous Propensities: Sex is funny

Liesl Clouse, Senior Sex Columnist suggests advertising the size of your penis to potential hourly/daily/weekly/whatever partners so they can pick what they're looking for without disappointment or astonishment...(oh, and by the way, exactly what's the difference between a Senior Sex Columnist and a Junior Sex Columnist?)

When guys are checking out their prospects for the night, week or whatever, body type is out in the open! There is no "Gee, I wonder if her breasts are big." Everything is visible enough in order to determine size! Guys have it easy. Ladies are unable to scan through the crowd and naturally select the biggest and strongest. Survival of the fittest has no position in this little game. Things could be so much easier if there was some sort of code that we could follow, like those little plastic, colored bracelets in the news recently that the authorities at nearby middle schools thought were sexual innuendos. Well, maybe they should be!

The newest fad - advertise your size! Dark blue for smaller guys, hunter green for medium sized and red hot for those more largely endowed. If you see a guy with a gold bracelet on, that means that he is in prime condition. Not too small, not too big. Slightly different from medium. This new fashion statement will thoroughly aid in the subtle hints that girls should get.


Liesl also has an idea to suggest to (she says God, but I'll interpret as) your higher power for flavors for boys, but you'll have to read the article for that one....

Shh...It's about sex: One size does not fit all

Cardinal Joos faces lawsuit over "pervert" remark

I wrote about the Cardinal's comments earlier in the week.

Now, Yahoo! has a story via UK Gay.com that the Cardinal could be sued under Belgium's discrimination laws.

The country's Center for Equal Opportunities and Struggle against Racism said in a statement that it would push for prosecution over the issue, which it says was made worse by the cardinal's stubbornness.

"The cardinal has stood by his comments, not apologizing and repeating them elsewhere in the media and in front of cameras," it argued in a statement on its Web site on Wednesday.

Meanwhile Catholic authorities in the country have refused to reprimand the 80-year-old Joos, claiming he was speaking in a private capacity.
