Modern Major Googler

Amusing spoof of Gilbert & Sullivan’s Modern Major General posted by privacy advocate, Lauren Weinstein. Among the lyrics:

I’ve never met the ruling troika here inside the Googleplex,
But even so I know their motives are as pure as healthy sex.
We work real hard, our systems spin, we’re trying to make a better Earth,
It gets annoying sometimes when outsiders seem to doubt our worth.

That public situation needs to improve before it’s too late,
Perhaps what we have here is just a failure to communicate.
But companies worth billions are between a rock and a hard place,
Try do things really right and stockholders may just spit in your face.
