Info Freaking

Recently I noticed a strafe Scientology campaign running on a few popular sites I visit quite often. The ads are not offensive that much, but I noticed they don’t have any ‘Google Ads’ tags around. At first I thought they belong to other advertising agency, but when I clicked on the flash ad I saw the googlesydnication URL which confirmed my assumption. Obviously the scientologists brand their religion online, so the Christians and Islamists could/should do the same, just to stay in touch with modern religion branding methods.

Therefore we could expect the upcoming rampage of religion online advertisements. Obviously, advertising a religion doesn’t breach Google’s Polices, OR the scientologists pay them so good so it’s worth to change or breach own rules? Personally, I don’t have anything against religion of any kind, even Scientology. Basically, this story is Google related, and has nothing to do with any religion.

Now, I see ‘smiley-download’ and adult dating sites advertise on AdWords as well, which means Google shareholders want MORE, and they can get more only through AdWords and AdSense, since 50% of other Google projects are still non-profitable ‘betas’. The plausible solution to get more is to allow rough websites to advertise their malicious apps on Google Adsense.

Unfortunately, Google AdSense Publishers have much stricter rules then AdWords advertisers. For example if you own a website with content related to penis enlargement, you won’t be able to place AdSense on your website. However, some publishers report that Google contacted them in order to run advertising campaigns for prescription erectile dysfunction drugs on their sites. Such brands as Cialis®, Levitra®, Viagra® and other similar drugs you can see frequently in your inbox or mostly in your SPAMBOX, so from now on they will flood the entire web as well. Isn’t it a paradox to allow advertiser to promote their adult services and forbid publishers to generate relevant content?

What should be their next step? Maybe, allowing advertising of armory and selling weapons through AdWords? I don’t think so, because Google doesn’t do EVIL. Maybe, gambling ads? Who cares, the most important is to skyrocket the Google shares which are apparently going down from day to day. Hopefully the G1 with Android OS will exceed their expectation and satisfy the most of Google shareholders.

- Time is our enemy!
- What’s this supposed to mean?
- Something that I’ve been afraid of and haven’t had to face until now.
- What? What!?! Just say it.
- It is not that simple .. I have 6 arms! But who believes that crap anymore?

- Well, they do at the Digg community, apparently… I had a visitor today… The Digg wants your help finding a missing story.
- Well, I hope you told them to go screw themselves?
- They say ‘all is forgiven. That they’ll drop all charges against you if you come in and help them solve this case.
- The Digg community will forgive me? They put me on trial on bogus charges and tried to discredit a decade of my work. They should be asking me for my forgiveness.
- I think they are. Desperately.
