Google calendar/OSX contextual menu

I upgraded my Gmail notifier recently, and without telling me it added a line to the right-click (contextual) menu, "quick add to Google calendar". I don't use Google calendar, but I do use my right-click menu. Google has provided no help at all about how to undo this (I emailed them and got back boilerplate about help for Gmail, so no human actually read my email). They have done evil! I am appalled that they would modify a user's machine in this way (without asking, adding functionality for a program I don't use and wasn't upgrading). I have tried pretty hard to figure out how to undo this and cannot find any help. A fellow TidBITS reader must know! Thanks in advance. (As a side note, *why* Google would do this is beyond me, it seems very un-Google.)
