Tags: Google, Sicko.

Lauren Turner, an employee at Google posted an article yesterday on the Google Health Advertising Blog that attacked Sicko and encouraged advertisers to use Google to counter the movies message.

Despite what you may feel about the movie, it probably wasn't the wisest move on Google's part. Beyond the business ethics of it, it will only attract Director Moore's attention and perhaps focus him on increasingly monopolistic Internet businesses.

Google seems to have figured out a way to turn a profit on everything, and the fact that they have no problem boasting about that will ultimately lead to their downfall.

I'm not sure this is to Google's advantage. It's an issue of how to companies deal with employees who also Blog. In this case, the employee was blogging on a Google sponsored site. It seems foolhardy to me for Google to let an individual represent the company in this way.

Companies will need to increasingly decide how to deal with cases like this. Companies may eventually prevent their employees from Blogging at all.
