Sorry but some things are just too funny to let them pass without comment…

Google co-founder Sergey Brin commented on the potential Microhoo (Microsoft Yahoo) buyout. Brin said that he found Microsoft’s takeover bid for Yahoo an “unnerving” maneuver that threatens innovation on the Internet, and mentioned that such a merger could “violate antitrust laws and harm Internet users.”

Huh?! This is Sergey Brin of Google, right? Check out any Comscore, Nielsen or Compete data talking about exactly how much marketshare Google has over the competition in terms of eyeballs, advertisers or any other number of metrics – though you are probably well aware that Google is the dominant leader in just about everything they put an effort (or buy) into. For Brin to actually say himself that this creates anti-trust issues (especially in the midst of an anti-trust battle themselves) is a bit hypocritical.

Oh and if you thought Google already have enough money to get to the moon, you might not be shocked to learn that the comments were from their HQ for the Lunar X Prize. Lunar X Prize is a race to land a privately funded robotic spacecraft on the moon. Because apparently there are no better causes on Earth…
