Stop creating alerts in my iCal by default

My primary calendar is in Google Calendars, but I access it with iCal on my MacBook Pro and my iPhone.


When I create a new event in Calendar on my iPhone, it always defaults to setting two alerts on the event. One message and one email. No matter what I do (even selecting Alert > None), every event in my Google Calendar has two alerts set on it.


So whenever I create an event on my iPhone, I have to open that event via iCal on my desktop machine, and delete the the alerts.


Is there any way to stop this from happening when I create events on my iPhone?

iPhone 4, iOS 5
