They are a frigging money-making corporation. That "Don't be evil" bullshit is a catchphrase, like "Got Milk?" or "Gillette--the best a man can get!" They don't actually MEAN it. They never did. They're big fat liars, actually!

Hell, these are the bastards who kowtowed to the Chinese and made it easier for them to SPY ON THEIR OWN PEOPLE (capitalized letters offered for IRONY, given the news stories of late) as well as ensured that the Chinese people did not have free and unfettered access to the world wide web.

Don't be evil? Yeah, right!
