So is doubleclick a company people look up to? I associate them with skeezy business practices, tracking people, privacy issues, and crappy advertising. I'm seriously trying to come up with one reason to like them.

Maybe it's that they're successful? But so is monsanto, and i don't look up to them.

Truthfully, I think the problems with Monsanto are more hype than real. They deal with the most important issues in the world, almost - making food available.

This is a little off topic but I have to rebut your argument. There's plenty of information and sources cited in this article [1,2,3] and I can't understand the sentiment that the problems with Monsanto are more hype than real. Also, a company dealing with the most important issue in the world doesn't absolve it of wrong-doing (be it illegal or immoral) and nor should it weaken standards that we may apply to others solving "less important issues". Both the means and the ends are important.
