Facebook Launches Search Engine to Compete with Google

Somewhere in the interwebs...

Reuters (and other hard-to-pronounce news services) are reporting* today that Facebook has entered the search engine world with the unveiling of Fook, the Facebook search engine.

"It's not so much a 'search engine' per say, as it is a tool to connect people with information on the internet," said Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerburg, hands still bloodied from decapitating a chicken earlier in the day.

When asked what differentiated the new search engine from Google or Bing, Zuckerberg was a bit more cagey.

"I basically took a close look at both of those designs, then took the idea that these two twin Olympic rowers had, and meshed them into a totally original concept unlike anything seen before on the internet."

Critics, initially skeptical, remembered that Zuckerberg was a billionaire and declared the project a success.

Online articles that attempted a sliver of objectivity concerning the launch of the new search engine have also flocked to Zuckerberg's corner, with the recent announcement by Zuckerberg that he will give money to websites that praise the new search engine, and bash his competitors.

Google responded by being really lame, as always.

Use Fook. It's really cool.

Seriously.
