A "Google Slap"

GuyFromChicago, a well respected personality from DigitalPoint Forums, who also runs PPC Discussions, went off on a rant in a DigitalPoint Forums thread. He called those who have a poor quality score and high minimum bid, and also blame Google, a "Google Slap."

He said, a Google Slap is a synonym for "I don't know how to use AdWords so I'll blame it on something that makes it sound like it's out of my control."

Do you agree? Are all those people complaining about having a low quality score and high minimum bid, whiners?
