14 DAY TRIAL // The love some people have for computers programs, Internet web pages or other IT fields can lead to the weirdest things. How else could you explain that a new-born has been baptized... Google?
And still, although it sounds like a joke, we assure you the news is as real as possible, and the parents are as proud as it gets. Speaking of parents, the happy father, Walid Elias Kai, is a Ph.D. candidate in Search Marketing. Perhaps somebody should have told the gentleman in question that there's a difference between "professional deformation" and ridiculosity.
Mr. Kai is a Lebanese who lives in Kalmar together with his Swedish wife Carol, who gave birth to Oliver Google Kai on September 12.
The proud father talked on a blog about the happy moment when he decided to baptize his son Google; he also said that his wife was thrilled about the idea. Most of his friends didn't take him seriously, and they even made assumptions on the names of the family's future kids, the most appreciated version being Yahoo.
Still, the joke was suddenly over when Kai Senior got to the Office of Population Affairs and stated his child's name: Oliver Google Kai.
