They're cute. They sing and dance. They're from another planet.

They're the Googles, and they're suing a Web Search giant near you!

Googles.com, a children's website operated by Stelor Productions, is suing Google.com, everyone's favorite search engine folks, on the grounds that Google's trademark is way to similar to the Googles.

Still with us?

Claiming "we were here first!" with their cutesy, friendly space creatures that encourage kids to laugh, play and dance, Stelor argues that Google's trademark application -- which covers a "long list of things, including children's books, stickers and clothing -- will cause nothing but confusion for fans of their interstellar stars.

Personally, I cannot fathom what kind of children's books Google.com would be able to come up with. Goldylocks and the three Googles?

The Little (Search) Engine that Could?

Hansel and Google?

But I digress.

This couldn't have ANYTHING to do with Google's going public, do you think? NAH.
