Google says JewTube is not kosher
Is JewTube easily confused with YouTube?
(Credit: JewTube)Apparently, Google doesn't have a sense of humor when it comes to puns related to its YouTube video site.
The company is preparing to challenge the use of the name "JewTube" for a Jewish-related video site on trademark grounds, according to a filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which was reported on by WebProNews.
A lawyer for NetParty, listed as the owner of JewTube, did not immediately return a call seeking comment. A Google spokesman said he was checking into the matter.
Meanwhile, Google rival Yahoo apparently wasn't so bothered by Jewhoo, a Jewish-oriented blog. However, Yahoo did try to block the use of Ya-Hooka, a directory of marijuana-related links, back in 1999.
(Credit: YouTube)Yahoo did not immediately return an e-mail seeking comment on the outcome of that case, and Ya-Hooka could not be reached.
It's a brilliant joke and not one that Google should stress about.
action. Why no action on JesusTube.com?
I think Google has some explaining to do.
just lawsuit happy? My gosh, the next thing will be parents suing
their neighbors because their children have the same names or
similar names. Why doesn't IBM sue Dell, et.al. because they sell
computers, too. Sometimes this stuff is just insanely silly.
