Google says don’t fear us, fear the government. Men who play BINGO are pansies.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt says you shouldn’t worry about his company releasing your personal data, but rather the government. And not just the U.S. government, but any government that forces Google to give up a customer’s search history.

Schmidt had in the past fought a request by the Department of Justice to release user search data.

His comments were in response to AOL publicly releasing search data of more than 600,000 users. Because of safeguards in place, Schmidt said at a search conference in San Jose, that it was an impossibility for Google to make a similar mistake. Later, the CEO recanted a little and said, “Never say never.”

AOL’s blunder has put new life into a Federal proposal that would restrict data that Internet companies can collect. Technology lobby groups think it’s absurd that the FTC would do a better job managing data than Google or Yahoo.

And are you a man that plays BINGO? Are you willing to admit it? According to game hosting company St. Minver, men often use female names when they play BINGO because they’re afraid people will make fun of them.

And the three most popular names happen to be Zoe, Alexis, and Rachel.

My favorite male-oriented BINGO sites are Rainbow Bingo, The Bingo Zone, and Emerald Bingo.
