Google Venezuela Quilt Shop

Posted on 02 August 2007 by DeanHunt

Google are a very different company compared to 5 years ago. They now have shareholders to please, and shareholders care about only one thing…. MONEY.

But what do you do when you have earned 68 zillion, gillion dollars? Where do you go from there?

You open a Google shop in Venezuela selling quilts of course

Note: The bogus Google shop specially selling quilts in Venezuela was photographed by Flickr user Gerswin Pineda using his Nokia N73 on July 28

Of course the shop is NOT really owned by Google, so this begs the question: Are they worth suing? I mean, you only have to sneeze on one of your own Google ads to get punished, so it will be interesting to see what Google do in this case.

This is a viral video from Youtube that is getting a lot of attention.

I will let the author set the scene:

It was back in Oct 2005.

My wedding was about a month to go and I decided to make a memorable event for my future wife. But, I and she were working and due to preparation of wedding, I didn’t have enough budgets for expensive proposal. While I was considering for the event, I remembered what she said in the past. “Wow it would be great if I can get a chance to go in the room with full of yellow post it just like Sang Sang Plus” (Sang Sang Plus is one of the famous talk show (TV program) in Korea and they prepare a room with full of yellow post it – questions from fans to famous celebrity)

I wrote all the happy memories that I had with my wife in 5,940 post it. It took me 4 days & 5 nights to write everything and post it in the bathroom. (I tried main living room first, but, due to surface of wallpaper, I had to change the place) Once we back from honeymoon, we took all the post it off and kept it in the box until now.
