Dear Monsanto,

I accidently entered in your company name at google.com (a popular internet search engine) along with the word “evil” and came up with 317,000 hits! That’s a lot of people out there that think your company is one of the bad guys!

I was just wondering what you’re doing to combat this perception? I mean, if that many people thought I was evil I’d begin to question getting out of bed on most days, but thankfully, I am not faced with this problem. I only get 4 hits with my name and “evil.” And from reading these articles as far as I can tell, no one actually thinks I am evil, but they sure do you!

I tried a couple other adjectives just for kicks and came up with

Bad: 1,270,000 hits.
Soulless: 5,330 hits.

There’s no way you could be as bad or soulless as these people claim though, since if you were no one would work there unless you paid them a lot of money!

You should hire some PR people to take care of this for you, or maybe some lawyers to go after these people, since obviously they have taken the whole free speech thing too far!

Sincerely,

Christopher L. Jorgensen
