[QUOTE="Zombie_Babies, post: 6260268, member: 6750039"] They vote with their business. If a company does something that causes a loss of a significant amount of business, well, I'd say the people are telling that company what it needs. A&E suspended that Duck guy because that's what they thought people wanted. The people, however, told A&E that that's not what they wanted. Result: DD is on the air. Google didn't need a profile bump right now. They're doing pretty well, IIRC. Something like this is a risk as well. It's not definitely going to result in positive discussion. Enough people have negative feelings about this (see the DD example above) that any company making a statement like this runs a risk of alienating a substantial number of customers (or users, whatever). So if the explanation is for some good ink, I don't see a need - especially when you consider what they chose to run with and the potential for blowing up in their face that it has. I don't think Google did it for the press anyway. I don't think they care. [/QUOTE]
