NewsBusters reader Mr. Snuggles has pointed out something conspicuously absent from Google’s various pages today – any reference to Memorial Day.(For link:click here)Obviously what we have with Google now is that they have let their 'power" get to their heads. Instead of being the information service they started out to be, they have decided that they should mold content to teach all us idiots on da web who r too stoopid 2 kno what it good and what is bad!I’m sure most Googlers are extremely aware of how Google will dress up its logo at its web search or news pages in honor of holidays or special occasions. Google has been known to do this on Halloween, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, etc. In fact, here is a display of all the Google holiday logos so far this year, and since 1999. You’ll even find that Google celebrated Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s birthday just a week ago. For those scratching their heads, he created Sherlock Holmes.
Yet, if you go to Google’s home page here, or its news page here, you will see nothing commemorating today’s national holiday. By contrast, Google did honor the Persian New Year on March 21, as well as Louis Braille’s birthday on January 4.
Furthermore, if you go back through the Google archives, you'll find that, although it has over the years commemorated Shichi-go-san being celebrated in Japan, Bastille Day in France, and Korean Liberation Day, it appears that Google has never dressed up its logo for Memorial Day.
Why might that be?
Like the Mainstream Media they have gone from mere reporters, mere chroniclers to activists with the elimination of conservative sites and now deciding not to celebrate our armed forces as the fruits of their turn.
I am about fed up with these jerks!
and who exactly is making you go to google.com ?
... and who "exactly" is making you reply to this thread?
A conservative search engine - I think you're on to something... Might be a good opportunity to get some of those googlebucks.
I noticed last month that they ignored Easter too. I believe they recognized it last year.
I stand corrected. They haven't recognized it since 2001.
I guess its the same person thats making you cry about google.com
What happens in China, doesn't stay in China (for Google)!
They've done 4th of July twice and had a special Uncle Sam thing a while back.
Can we go back to worrying about important things now?
http://a9.com/ works for me as a search engine. You get 1.57% discount on everything you purchase on Amazon if you use A9.
It's been confirmed, google is scum.
Dude, get a life and quit responding to people who are complaining about a web site.
Dogpile is the shit! (lol...play on words...but I prefer it over Google any day of the week)
Thank you for your note. We understand your interest in seeing a Memorial Day Google logo. If we were to commemorate this holiday, we'd want to express reverence; however, as Google's special logos tend to be lighthearted in nature, this would be a particularly challenging design. We wouldn't want to create a graphic that could be interpreted as disrespectful in any way.
We have a long list of holidays that we'd like to celebrate in the future. We have to balance this rotating calendar with the need to maintain the consistency of the Google homepage. We really appreciate your feedback regarding the Google logo, and please be assured that we're actively pursuing ways in which we can acknowledge Memorial Day and other such occasions in the future.
Regards,
The Google Team
Dear null and void,
Pound sand.

Just another case of selective inclusiveness.
I seem to recall that their Martin Luther King Day logo wasn't humorous. Oh well, what can you expect from a company that assists communist China in suppressing their people.
Yes, but in a nice way...
Translation: We [Google] have set an arbitrary number of holidays per year that we celebrate and Memorial Day did not make the cut.
Merry Christmas (apparently not) from the Google Grinches:
