These service menu items can be manually removed easily. Control- 
Click on the offending application and choose Show Package Contents.   
Then open the Contents folder.  Control-Click the Info.plist file and  
choose your favorite text editor, if none is listed choose Other...  
and then choose TextEdit.  After the Info.plist file opens search for  
<key>NSServices</key> and change it to <key>NSServices-Removed</key>  
then save the file and quit the text editor.  Log out, then back in  
and the menu item should be gone.  To get the menu item back just  
change it back to <key>NSServices</key>.
