Yahoo Sponsors Google

Flickr is making money off Google AdSense even though it is a Yahoo company. There are Adsense text ads appearing on your photo albums etc.
I have always suspected that Google make a larger profit than that of their clients, who happen to be Flickr (Yahoo) in this case. After the initial “Welcome to AdSense” E-mail, one only communicates with the Google server. All the placement chores are left to the client. Have we become Google’s peons? Verging evil perhaps? I doubt it, but here is some comic relief.
Nevertheless, many of us are peons to the man below.

The latter photo had to be posted to balance this discussion.

I love Google and therefore I love Sergei. If he were really a woman, I would propose marriage.. He’s not bad looking in his photo as a cross-dresser and he’s rich too.

Google begins to remind me the love/hate feelings I have for Walmart.

These feelings are difficult to avoid, yet Google are doing their best. They are doing darn well, if you ask me.
I could never insult Google because they bring me about 700 unique visitors a day.
