The ubiquitous search engine company is steaming mad that Booble, a search engine that finds adult material, has turned Google's household name into a pornographic parody. Google wants Booble to find a name and a look that aren't pornified versions of Google's. Perhaps "LookSmut" instead of LookSmart, or "Ask Sleaze" instead of Ask Jeeves. Booble is undaunted by the gaggle of Google lawyers working to burst Booble's bubble. "Only a lawyer could say 'Booble' without smiling," said a representative.
