Someone once told me that it is inevitable that any large company or famous person gets "bad press" every once in a while. Chances are you can search the Internet and find articles maligning even Mother Theresa herself. A recent article in The Register seems to be quite abrasive when speaking of Google, comparing it to a cult and even Enron.
DazzlinDonna points to the article at Search Engine Roundtable Forums, and includes the snippets alluded-to above. Naturally, this kind of article probably doesn't worry Google too much, but it's fun to see what some people think about the search and Internet marketing giant.
Join the discussion at Search Engine Roundtable Forums, and see the article at The Register.

The Register is far from what I'd consider even handed journalism.

Enron was big business, with very deep government/big business connections. Google has only just now started to court Washington. They are really not at all similar.

these are valid comments. My goal was to try and get them posted at SER Forums though. :) I know The Register isn't exactly the WSJ, but this is a good topic. btw Dave has proposed a funny solution at the SER Thread...
