Search engine spam or just good optimization?

What do you folks think of this:

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie...mbitches&meta=

Basically every spot on the first two pages of results except for two are all from one person, and they all redirect directly to the person's affiliate code. So obviously there is cloaking, redirecting going on, which is against google's rules.

So do you file a spam complaint to google or suck it up and try the same spamming techniques as this person? Any thoughts?

I have worked hard to get top spots under certain keywords building legitimate sites with real content on them, so seeing this sort of thing ticks me off.
