I can't find anything about Goobuntu.

Probably just a typo of Gobutunu.

I think they call it a lame version of Ubuntu or something like that...

Gobuntu is Ubuntu with as many non-free stuff left out as possible. It has (most likely) nothing to do with Google and is created by Ubuntu developers. Read 'Gobuntu is... go' at: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/130

In fact, the URL itself says Gobuntu too.
It there a typo or no, difficult to say.

I was about to download the ISO man... :)

First it was Google, then Goog, & now even Go is creating waves making people think its from Google

Are we reaching to a stage where every "G" corresponds to Google. Great going Google!

every "G" corresponds to Google.

Every "G" should correspond to GNOME, filthy non-believer ;-D

More seriously, Gobuntu is , as said higher, a version without any extra proprietary drivers for non-FOSS-supported graphic cards.
