Things Google Won’t Let You Love
It’s the official list of words banned from Google’s What Do You Love service, complete from “anal” to “xxx”.
I’d love Google a lot more if they didn’t silently break their own products with hidden lists of bad words.

The biggest concern that I have is that people like myself who use a second identity online to protect themselves from people who would judge us based solely on our sexual preferences/practices, are having a harder time participating in the things like Google+ or facebook because true personal privacy isn’t allowed.
We are then forced to use sites like Fetlife or CollarMe to fill the void which further segregates us from society.
I read the list.
Fans of baseball Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry must be very disappointed.
Also, fans of King Cnut feel the sting of repression.
This is my favorite part:
boob:1,
boobs:1,
booobs:1,
boooobs:1,
booooobs:1,
booooooobs:1,
yeah, but smoking crack and beating children is just fine, of course. Typical anti-sex mindset.
At least we’ll always have “facials” and “pearl necklaces”….
Huh?
You mean I can’t use a word spelled “f-u-k-e-r” (which to my way of thinking, would be pronounced something like “foooker” or maybe even “fyouker”…), but I could use something like “pig phukka” or “pig phukah” or “pyg phukkah” or “pyggi phukkuh” and apparently be O.K.?
…odd people those Googlians…
er… curiosity got the better of me so…
I plugged in “Howard Hughes pantsless”, just to see what Google would have to say about it, and to my surprise it offered “See pictures of Howard Hughes pantsless
on Image Search” which in turn informed me that apparently “Pants-less Saturday” is what follows after “Casual Friday” and yes, they even offered a photo which “once seen, cannot be unseen”…
It also attempted to offer for me to “Watch videos of Howard Hughes pantsless on Youtube”, but admitted “No results were found.” followed by THIS odd comment:
“*Polite cough* Couldn’t find anything. Sorry. Try something simpler?”
Which leads me to think that there is some human element monitoring the feature. (Do you think there’s someone over there at Google HQ who REALLY thinks I “love” Howard Hughes pantsless?)
It further offered “Explore Howard Hughes pantsless in
3-D with SketchUp”, and to “Find Howard Hughes pantsless nearby on Maps”, as well as “Latest news about Howard Hughes pantsless with News”, and efforts to “Scour the earth for Howard Hughes pantsless with Earth”, or to help “Call someone about Howard Hughes pantsless with Voice”, and to even help “Plan your Howard Hughes pantsless events with Calendar”
Hmm… I wonder if it would help me plan a Bacchanalia festival…
Frottage is ok
so is BDSM,
Tickling
Roman Showers
Upper Deckers
Baby Bears
Bears in General
Flogging
electrosex
Oddly enough, Cunnilingus is BAD.
Sodomy is a-ok though.
so is Shibari
Apparently Sergei Brin doesn’t like vanilla people, or female genitalia. :)
Thats the trouble with banning ideas with word lists, personally I think it creates an implied endorsement of everything not banned on the list.
Really Larry Page? Pederasty? you?
I am happy to report that Google will still allow me to have a spanking.
@Doc. W. Fooker has a nice Gaelic brogue sound to it, as in fuking brillant.
Note to Tabitha:
Not only do they allow spanking, but when I plugged in “Cherry Cheeks”, they offered to help me access them faster, explore them in 3-D, search them on the move, and to organize a discussion on the best places to find them.
It’s like having a top flight concierge…
Odd, never heard of that site. Google’s main search has no problems with this though.
