Google Demolishes Church (No, Not Really…)

Noted DataCenter p0rn addict aficionado Andy Parkes drew my attention to the above sensational headline published on the Green Data Centre blog yesterday, giving details of a Church being demolished to make way for a new Google Data Center in Iowa.

Hold on! What about Google’s motto – “Do No Evil”. Doesn’t wrestling The Almighty in his own backyard and then razing his house in an act of spite count as evil?

Well thankfully Rich Miller dug a little deeper to find the actual facts of the story.

“The church actually sold the property years ago to a local developer, who in turn sold to the local economic development corporation – all before Google was in the picture”.

Phew!

What with the near End of the World happening last week, and the “if it’s true, it must be one of the signs of the Apocalypse” fact of my team Aston Villa being in the top six of the Premiership, I was beginning to worry that Darth Google smashing Churches beneath it’s Imperial boot may have just prompted the Almighty to press CTRL-ALT-DEL on us all.
