Just because it doesn't sound like roses and sunshine doesn't make it inaccurate.
It also doesn't mean that I don't like some of their stuff, or that I won't play Pacman on their logo.

You're kidding right?
Does it even matter what Google does? Fact is they have their hands in a lot of pots(renewable energy for one)....and use their massive amounts of money to create better products for the consumer.
Advertising money has allowed them to get into a lot of other markets(Android, OS, renewable energy, etc, etc)....where they can basically throw money away trying to come up with something.
Why wouldn't you like a company like that?
In fact it sounds downright stupid to say you're against the ad business. Advertising is an important market whether you like it or not. Google has revolutionized the way people advertise. Thats a bad thing?
