Would You NOFOLLOW This link?

Would you comply with Google's request that you NOFOLLOW a link to a site that
is not "too" relevant to your company website (let's say your site is about "Blue Widgets",
and the site you're linking to is themed around "horse racing") - even though you
feel it is relevant because you happened to be writing a "blog post like" entry
about what your company did for the annual company picnic (went to a horse race)?
(on the opinion that if you don't, Google will eventually deem your link to be a paid link)

Well boo hoo to Goo Goo oogle. No I would not nofollow the link. Google do not own the internet and they do not own our websites.

It is a shame on their behalf that they come up with all these ridiculous ideas as they cannot stick to them. I believe they simply do not have the resources to stick by the rules they come up with.
