Well, they are not the crocodiles, after all. Good for them.

"Well, they are not the crocodiles, after all. Good for them."

It was still quite surprising. They have a flag and everything! They normally avoid observing any holiday that has anything to do with patriotism or Christianity.

Doesn't it look like the two animals celebrating are the elephant (for the GOP) and what looks like a cat, not a donkey (for the dems.)

DIVERSITY is our Friend.

Listing some alternatives: Please add yours.

Clusty.com

Accona.com

How LAME. Cats?!

At any rate, I'm guessing it's localized, based on your IP address.

Surely Google isn't forcing the rest of the civilized world to suffer this indignity! [/sarc]

Anyone outside the US who can confirm or deny this?

They do every year. There was a thread a couple of days ago where someone posted Google's July 4th graphics for the past five years or so.

Looks more like a pair of Pussies to me.

There must be a messages there, but I don't care.

Didn't see that. Even searched for google in thread titles. There must be something regarding search criteria on here that I'm not aware of.

I checked it using a proxy server in Korea, and the dancing cats are not there, just the regular logo.
