>>Google might make money from advertising, yes. But, as far as the average person is concerned, Google means search.

Yes, exactly, precisely that is what I find funny. Not in a "you average people, go read up on your google facts" or even in a way that I particularly care take a stand against/with. I just find it cosmically funny somehow. If I may stretch it a tad; almost in a dystopian, dark comedic sense.

edit: and also, you say "average", in my above post I said news stories, that is, journalists. They really shouldn't be "average" in this context. If they are, then yeah sure, their readers will become.
