How dare they put unobtrusive advertising on their search engine? I want more annoying pop-up ads, transitional advertising pages, flash animations, and javascript so my mp3's skip. Even better if the ad covers the content, so I have to move it so I can get two paragraph of links to 404 errors. God damn them, damn them all to the fiery pits of hell!

"A number of written that the sky is fallen because Google is allowing sponsored rankings."

Come on. Many thousands of people read this site. Is it really that difficult to phrase things in proper english?

"A number of [people have] written that the sky is fall[ing]/[has fallen] because Google is allowing sponsored rankings."

Was that so hard?
