[python-advocacy] anti-python sponsored ad on Google

[Broadus Jones]

Brad,

I looked at the site.  Indeed, the ad and site are difficult to
understand what the owner is promoting.  The individual dislikes
python, git, and several other products.  I could not tell what he
actually likes, though.  He will not have much impact on python.
