Glenn Beck's site uses DoubleClick for ads. DoubleClick belongs to Google. Hence, this e-mail:
PLEASE DON'T COPY THIS AS-IS! Use your own words. Add something I may have forgotten. Use a different link. Change the tone if you think this could be phrased better.

I'd like feedback on a couple things:
1. This was sent to press@google.com -- is there a better e-mail address I could have used?
2. Who else could I be sending e-mails like this?

SUBJECT: Abuse from one of your customers.

Look at what Glenn Beck said about the dead kids in Norway.

His website uses Doubleclick for ads. I think you shouldn't be helping people like that make money. My future decisions to buy and recommend Google-powered products (i.e. smartphones, tablets etc.) could be influenced by your reactions to this.

Sincerely yours,
(Name)

1. Done!
I was even civil about it, only using a couple of 'shit's and I did my best to keep my 'fuck's to a minimum. j/k

The e-mail address you used was the best I could find.

3. "Is there a better e-mail address I could have used?"
Yes.

That's about as effective. I know two people who work for Google. Like most companies, they don't have time to deal with every complaint that comes in. When I worked in a corporate office's customer service department, we trashed most of the mail. There's just not enough time to deal with it all, and in most cases people are writing in to make themselves feel better.

The best thing you could do is not go to Beck's website. I don't know why anyone would go there to begin with.

4. You are aware Beck did lose lots of advertisers at Fox due to people complaining, are you?
By the way, thanks for the kick.
