Right now, running twice an hour in Times Square, there's a 540 sq. ft. animation of Google CEO Eric Schmidt giving little kids free ice cream and secretly gathering their personal information.

We put up the ad to promote our video titled Don't Be Evil? that aims to make the public aware of how out of touch Schmidt and Google are when it comes to our privacy rights.

Watch the one-minute animated video at our Google-specific watchdog site, InsideGoogle.com.

Schmidt is out of control. When questioned about privacy, he has said, "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." Recently, he suggested children could change their names when they got older if they wanted to escape what was embarrassing and public in their online lives.

We think there should be another way to protect the public's online privacy: a "Do Not Track Me" list that prevents Google or any other Internet company from tracking your every move online.

Sign our petition to tell Congress to make a 'Do Not Track Me' List.

Share the video with your friends, and let's get the word out about this issue. Our privacy is a fundamental right, and when it comes under fire, we've got to fight back.

Thanks for your help,

President, Consumer Watchdog
