I think "foul" was cried loud and clear already when Google decided to take action. Didn't change much on Googles end. They'll be a much bigger "cry" if they do nothing.

It is sad that Google has reached a point now where everything seems unfair. If you talk about the fact that Coke gave you the product and link to their site then you have broken the rules.

How messed up is that?

And how messed up is it that some will get away with it and others want?
