Booble: An adult search engine parodying Google

"Booble" is a new adult Website parodying Google and has hit the Net running, allowing Net surfers with a thing for porn to filter over six thousand hand-selected adult Internet content listings.

Booble is said to be the brainchild of a former Net executive, whose identity isn't yet known but who is based in New York and is putting his own money into the project, described as a "light-hearted parody of the world's largest and best-known search engine."

Google was said to be unavailable for comment on Booble as this story went to press. But Booble's mastermind says his site links to Google, "and so far we haven't heard from them."

This isn't exactly unprecedented in the adult Internet: for several years, Youho has continued its success with its parody of the original look and array of kingpin portal Yahoo. Booble's developer-founder, who asked for his anonymity to keep from being banned from his daughter's school softball games, according to Agence France Presse, aims for a site that's both fun and useful.

"I have a Web development operation where there is a bit of a frat boy atmosphere, so we stumbled on Booble," he told the news agency. "What was a bit fun and a joke became a business. People like it. It makes people smile. It's funny and I think it'll grow."

The sites to which Booble directs users will be filtered to exclude "illegal or extremely hardcore material," AFP said, with criteria for that to include whether the site is worth the price it charges and the quality of its images.

"It is fun, but there is a real story behind Booble in that it's hard to find good adult content," the creator told AFP. "There are about 25,000 adult sites and a fraction of sites in really major categories like movies and music and sports, causing a lot of clutter and confusion."

And he hopes users get the joke while having their adult fun. "We don't want to do anything is illegal," he told AFP. "It's a parody, it's funny and we're not out to confuse anybody so we hope they will take the joke in the spirit in which it was intended."
