GOOGLE goes gray
Google ^ | 5/27/2019 | Same

Right in there with an insult to those who gave their lives for our country. No mention of Memorial Day on the splash page and instead of GOOGLE spelled out in colors, it is all gray

Click on Google’s banner and Memorial Day search results are returned.

Someone’s picking the wrong issue to get their panties wound up over.

Let it go.

I see it as Google remembering.

See post 6. If you can’t see it, here’s the direct URL: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47942043883_e7d9b66560_z.jpg

Google turned all their color off and the only color (and therefore emphasis or eye attracting element) on the page is the tri-folded flag and the link for the National Moment Of Remembrance. I think they got it more right than not.

So they chose the Confederate uniform color? Seems odd.

Google is an international company. The rest of the world is not celebrating anything today.

It seems there are a group if you here at FR that cannot wait to be outraged by how they act.

Get over yourselves. It’s never going to deliver what you want. Move on.

You should request that this post be taken down. The flag link on the Google page takes you HERE

And they are requesting that we "Join us in observing the ‪National Moment of Remembrance‬ at 3:00 pm, local time"

Seems pretty solid to me.

But below the search box, there is a statement, "‪Join us in observing the ‪National Moment of Remembrance‬ at 3:00 pm, local time‬" with a folded U. S. flag below it.

You must have woken up this morning itching to find something about which to be offended. If this bothers you, I doubt you’ll have a very good day.

Exactly right. Though I don’t use Google any more than necessary, myself. As another poster mentioned, I use DuckDuckGo.

Personally, I like it.

I’d have been more offended if they had a background of cookouts, beer, and fireworks.
