Yes!

In the grand scheme of things PR doesnt mean shit. Its the search engine traffic that is worth paying for.

Google supposedly frowns on buying PR, but I know of a lot of sites that are ranking well because of it. They claim they will penalize you into outer space if they catch you doing it. It's the catching part that's proving difficult for them, to the point that they're asking webmasters to report sites that are buying links.

Of course it's bad. If your site is detected by google, it can be penalized, loose it's own PR, or even decrease in SE ranking... But in what way google finds out? i don't know.

If you're looking to do well with google never buy PR never buy links and dont buy into anything that promises google gold dust.
I did once and got spanked real hard for it.
Time + good content + good link relations = Happy times
