Shocker Enterprises Launches 'Too Hot For Google' Clothing Line

BALTIMORE — Shocker Enterprises has launched a new line of clothing and accessories that it's calling TooHotForGoogle.com.

Shocker Enterprises CEO Thomas A. Beveridge said that Google banned his company from using its AdSense advertising service, although Beveridge offered no specifics about the parting of ways between his company and Google.

In response, Beveridge said that he launched the Too Hot for Google clothing line.

"After we got the letter from Google saying we were too racy and obscene for their family-oriented search engine, we declared ourselves too hot for Google,” he said.

The website presents users with a standard online store, offering T-shirts, hats, watches, mousepads, thongs, tank-tops, clocks and other goods bearing the Too Hot For Google logo – the silhouette of a curvy, trident-wielding devil woman.

Shocker Enterprises also recently launched RateMyShocker.com, a video-sharing site in the PornoTube.com mold. It offers embeddable videos, photo galleries, user profiles, social-bookmarking links and other standard features.

The team behind RateMyShocker.com teamed up with A List Talent Agency to find new talent through this new site. RateMyShocker's Tommy B said that his site is already encouraging amateur users to post steamy videos of themselves.
