I’ve since corresponded with Mrs. Bradley, and the tale gets even weirder. I’ll have th rest of the story on Tuesday.

After speaking with her though, I can tell you she seems articulate and educated, if somewhat ignorant of how the Web works. I think she may have a chip on her shoulder, too, against big companies. Anywho. Strange days.

It’s even more obvious that Theresa ain’t too bright. If she is after a quick buck I think she chose the wrong defendants.

I still stand by my original statement though. Google is no longer hungry and they are to powerful. Which can never be a good thing.

Well, if you follow the links you’ll see that she’s sueing Google for her hundreds of hours of work and damages that can’t be undone. I fail to see how this could be anything else than someone taking a shot at Google’s money.

The rules are simple: don’t click on your own ads.

Now imagines if she wins this battle (highly doubtful) – everybody can click on their ads “just to make sure” – yeah, advertisers would just love that!!!

Sheesh, stupid is what stupid does!

From what I get in the story as written is the lady is just stupid. If there is more evidence of it being straight fraud I’d love to see it.

What bothers me is that a company in the service industry. (Yes Google is in the service industry just like McDonald’s.) Would be so cocky and so rich that they can blow off a customer for making a mistake. What would be wrong with a strong warning saying, “Hey don’t do that anymore.” I will bet if they were smaller and struggling for every customer they could get this wouldn’t happen. But because they control the internet and are rich. They can do anything they want and treat customers like shit.
