Goggle Has Become The Devil

So, I'm driving home from work today minding my own damn business, when suddenly I receive a buzz from my hip. Well of course, this is where I keep my handy-dandy phone. I knew immediately this meant I got a text message. I'm thinking maybe it's the Chief texting me to see if I haven't burst one of my major arteries yet. Or possibly my lovely wife texting something sweet.... NOPE! I was quite surprised to see as follows: FRM:noreply@google.com MSG: http://www.google.com/intl/en ALL......etc,etc,etc. I'm thinking to myself, 'What The Fuck?!' Maybe it's some new and shiny toy that Google wants to offer me. The funny thing is, after reading all of the 100's of paragraphs of Google's 'Term's of  Use',(yes I'm also the kinda guy that gets off on reading Webster's Unabridged 1938 Edition Collegiate Dictionary), I dont recall seeing anything about them being able to arbitrarily send me shit through text! Of course I'm no lawyer. They seem to be able to interpret things that in plain english seem fairly straight forward, only to have one tell you, you just signed away your right's to own your own soul, and that your next born child will be taken from you to study the effect's of Gamma radiation on developing gonads! Well... I don't get immediately angry, 'NO WAY!' you say, 'Impossible...Brady not fucking crazy angry out of his mind, as always?' I do have my lucid moments. Anyway, I get home and decide to calmly look up some contact info on Google....:) turns to :0!!!! Have any of you ever tried looking for way's to REALLY solve a complaint with Google? It's a Labyrinthian, maniacal undertaking! Especially when one considers that I had already called their corporate office, and got this fucking ROBOT of  a Cant Understand Normal Thinking idiot! Every time  I ask a question, the decibel level goes up on the other end of the line and the pre-rehearsed  swill grows quicker and more terse. Eventually I had enough with 'it, them, her' and I hung up. At this point I was becoming quite perturbed. On with more research. F.A.Q.'s, posts,other websites, looking for the answer to my question. Why is Google sending me texts? And how do I opt the fuck out? No real satisfactory resolution to speak of. Except that I did e-mail them! Of course the very end of that form e-mail that I eventually came across; something to the effect of 'if we need more info we'll contact you'. Which to me means, Fuck off, don't call us,cause we may anally rape ya'! Of course I haven't even mentioned the obvious fact that, that text cost me money.

This all begs the question. How much of our personal lives do we give to Google, or any corporation for that matter, and still think we lead 'private lives'? Do any of you actually read the fucking shit you sign? Or, do you just trust that Uncle Google, Brother Microsuck, and Grandpap's Name Your Preferred Corporate Entity is looking out for you, and cares deeply for your feelings, will always lend a helping hand, be there when you grow old, pick you up when you fall, and basically be your best friend. Or more likely waiting around the corner, ready to beat the living fuck out of you and steal your wallet! Gee! Ain't  Capitalism great?! SELL YOUR SOUL AMERICA! Halliburton will probably give you your weight in dried peanut shell's for a glimpse into everything that makes you tick. Fuck getting your car wrapped with the latest Red Bull signage!!! Get your mind tattooed with their fucking company letter-head!! Fuck!! Even better! Have someone surgically imprint Google's logo into your retina! So you never, ever have to be alone again! Have Muzak installed into your aural pathways. 

The long and short of it is, these Goddamn corporate giants treat the average person as though we are flies!  WHAT'S IT GONNA BE???!!! Are you a fly?....... I thought so.

 

UPDATE! As it turns out, and this makes me angrier, Google's text was a link to their April Fools joke. Which in one sense could be funny, except the fact that I'm not the only stooge they pulled this on. The idea that Google considers itself an advertising company is definitely proved! I bet your saying ' lighten up Brady, It's April Fools.' Well did you get texted? If so, how do you feel having a joke played on you like this? How many others got the same text? Maybe they don't have a text plan, or possibly over their monthly limit! I'll bet the Telco companies LOVE their little joke, all the way to the bank! I'd rather have my .23 back.  And BTW, If you think I'm over-reacting.... Well send me .23 and we'll call it even....

What do you think?

 

Update 2: So I get this no respond email from Zeke (a Google employee) asking about some of the specifics of my problem. I think it's funny that Google can email me, but I can't use there own product to email them back. I have to log in to my account and go to the thread and respond! Anyway, he? (his avatar is displaying a dog!) tells me Google sends absolutely no unsolicited texts. In turn I send him the exact text sitting on my phone. This of course after several post exchanges asking if I did this and that, etc. He said he is working diligently with his team, trying to figure out this situation, blah, blah, blah. Well after the exchange yesterday...... NOTHING... I'll keep you posted.
