Between the jokes and the fallacy



"We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us." Rabindranath Tagore (Stray Birds)

Few months ago was created this video in the australian program HungryBeast, of the ABC1. In this spot, that seems as a Google's ad (simple and white), the program attack Google with some "arguments".
Few monts ago, too, I read an article in the website Young australian skepticks where they do A Simple Guide For Proving Anything.

Reader, try to see the video and later read the article, and if you need it, see the video again. What do you thing? Ok, maybe you need some proves, I needed it, in concequence I looked for it, finally, between some pro-Google pages it appear, I found this blog, Google Operating System. Here you have a little response to this video.

A lot of people commented this "ad" because attacks a company as Google by lies. I want to comment it because accuse Google with fallacy, without proves and non-actual dates.

But wait a minute! This Hungry Beast is an humoristic show, maybe is only a bad joke. They are comparing Google with the worst villian ever, Darth Vader. But well, say that Google "wants to own your phone, your email, your computer and your entire digital life" it's a big rude, isn't it?
