   This is the first time I'm beginning to be uncomfortable with Google
taking over everything.   I (as many others) put the entire
*.doubleclick.com into the internet bit bucket.   I've been able to avoid
sites that require that doubleclick.com resolves in order to navigate
content.   Wonder if they'll require that you resolve doubleclick.com in
order to do Google searches now?
