The company confirmed in a statement that it will join Wikipedia, Reddit, and other influential tech firms in staging protests of varying kinds against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA), which are backed by big entertainment and media interests."

Google: "We're with you guys and we're gonna join the protest by posting a link on our home page to a message about our opposition to SOPA and PIPA."

Protestors: "Will you black out you website like the rest of us?"

Google: "What!? And lose all that money? Are you out of your minds!?"
