New Buzz On Google Fire and Google Wheel

Well, at least someone else is feeling silly today (since no one seems to get the Bizarro Superman).

Andy talks about the hype over a guy Google hired yesterday, how it seemed far more than a simple hire deserves. Hell, Vint Cerf, father of the frickin' internet, didn't get this much press when Google snapped him up.

As a result, Andy decided to "break" the release of two Google products, Google Fire and Google Wheel. The implication is obvious, and a good satire on the overblown coverage, and I particularly appreciate Andy's use of Flintstones puns.

Suggested Flintstones riffs on Google:

  • Larry Stoneage
  • Serubble Brin
  • Errock Schmidt
  • Google headquarters, The GoogleQuarry in Volcanic Mountain View, Cavefornia.
  • Google's motto: Don't Be Yabba Dabba Do
  • Rivals: Gazoo! and Microslate

Eh, I'm not great with the Flintstones puns. Anyone wanna try?
