I agree - I went to Google to look up the origin of Memorial Day, expecting the same picture, but nothing. It probably was meant as an insult.

Dogpile has a bouquet of white lillies!! Send your business to dogpile. I already complained to Google. Google is run by a bunch of spoiled-rotten sissy boys. They can't be bothered to remember where their freedom came from.

Thoughtless, I'll agree, but it's a stretch to call it a spit in the face.

Definitely not surprised. Coming right off the heels of Queen Victoria Day in Canada might have caused a backlog of cute little graphics needed to be made.

Billionaire leftists. It seems impossible that someone who lives the Capitalist American dream could urinate on it, but it happens all the time in LeftWorld.

What do I think? It's a search engine and a popular site on the Internet.

The Drudge Report, Free Republic, Microsoft, Yahoo, ESPN Net, those are all popular websites too. Are they bad as well for not incorporating a Memorial Day theme into their logos?

It is a bad decision on Google's part, but it hardly rises to the level of spitting in the faces of our troops. That would take a direct action to denounce the troops.

Google is run by a bunch of leftists who have in the past used their search engine to promote the left's agenda. I only use Yahoo now (they are leftists too, but at least they keep it out of the searches).

Didn't you know? Google reserves its special logos exclusively for the important occasions such as National Library Week.

And who can forget the ever momentous World Water Day?

No Veteran's Day graphics either.

Very rude

I agree. I remember they had a dripping bucket logo to celebrate "water day" right when Terri Schiavo was being dehydrated. It seemed a bit tin-foilish to think that was done on purpose, but this one? It's a national holiday and we are at war!

Email the PR department of Google and ask if they company does not feel it worth noting on their website, why do they give the employees the day off?

Maybe, they are waiting for the real Memorial Day and not this fake "long weekend day".

Yes.

It is rude of them.

I e-mailed them my concerns.

They didn't put anything up for Christmas Day, either. For a few days leading up to Christmas, they'd had some polar bears in a little scene, and that stayed up all throught the week up to New Year's Day.

Google is run by similar folks who run MoveOn.org.

I'm sure they had special colors for their annual May Day celebration.
