In answer to the question posed by the article: Do Google ads belong on a company desktop?, I reply "Hell No".

Well, at least I will boycott anything like this, ads for anything that you don't actually make in house shouldn't be placed on company resources.

It's like those STUPID ads in the back of the computer rags years ago (and not that many, either) with the two people apparently screaming at each other placed like bookends on each side of the add, mostly for hosting companies. Sheesh, you just GUARANTEED that I wouldn't use your company by lacking imagination and using the same clip art as every other advertiser...
