They also went and took a ton of copyrighted stuff off of youtube.
Ha, I guess Google now listens to their advertisers. Down the drain it is.

Man, Takei was just on FIRE at that roast. That was hilarious.

What are you, a FAG?

Wouldn't you like that? OH THAT WOULD MAKE YOUR LIFE SO MUCH EASIER WOULDN'T IT. No more of this awkward flirting and scrounging for hints in my chatlogs. No more lying awake at night wondering and wishing.
I'm going to tell Scots on you, and then you won't get ANY.

Has Google done anything wrong yet?
It's called "pay per click advertisement." They sell ads and convince companies that "pay per click" is a fair deal to drive traffic to their web site. Then their "partners" put those ads on their web pages and pay people to sit there and click the ads, usually with a bot so they can click faster. Everyone wins except the advertisers. Google can claim their hands are clean since the fraud part is being done by their "partners" but they haven't done anything about it despite some lawsuits and complaints to Congress.
Have you ever seen those "make money at home via the Internet" commercials on TV? That's what they are offering.

So I assume there are hundreds of thousand so of new companies cropping up daily to replace the ones they lose once, after a week, they realize they're not getting any more sales from the extra traffic?

<a href="http://news.com.com/Google+to+offer+advertisers+click+fraud+stats/2100-1024_3-6098469.html">Google, on the other hand, claims that it catches and ignores invalid (including possibly fraudulent) clicks, which presumably includes multiple clicks from the same IP within a short space of time; and that third-party companies that claim to measure click fraud may inflate numbers to drive up their own business.</a>

The 2nd part is sad. Google actually has more incentives to let the cheating continue than do 3rd party companies. Blaming others of the exact things that you do is a classic guilty man's tactic. In any case it's just damage control like Std said, all you need is the illusion for it to be true .
