In a move that has left many scratching their heads, satirical news platform 'The Wibble' has announced they will be rebranding as Google. The decision has left some wondering if the website has lost its sense of humor, while others are concerned that the new name could cause confusion.
"We wanted to rebrand to something that represented innovation, creativity, and forward thinking," said a representative for The Wibble, now known as Google. "And what better name to choose than one that's already synonymous with those qualities?"
However, skeptics are not convinced. "I think they're just trying to ride on the coattails of one of the biggest tech giants in the world," said a former reader of The Wibble, who wishes to remain anonymous. "It's a cheap publicity stunt."
Many loyal readers of the website are also worried that the rebranding could cause confusion. "When I search for something on Google, I want actual information, not satirical news articles," said one bewildered reader. "I don't want to have to read articles upside down, backwards, and inside out just to figure out if they're true or not."
Despite the backlash, the newly minted Google has remained steadfast in its decision. "We understand people may be confused at first, but we're confident they'll catch on," stated the representative for the website. "Plus, it's not like we're changing our content. We'll still be providing the same level of quality satire readers have come to expect from us."
Only time will tell if this bold move will pay off for Google, but for now, many are left wondering what other surprises the website has in store.
