Google Apologizes to Christians For Easter Cesar Chavez 'Doodle'

Google’s decision to mark Easter Sunday with a doodle of leftist icon Cesar Chavez atop its search engine angered some users in what they see as a snub of Jesus on the day Christians mark his resurrection.
However, Google executives offered quick apologies for the snub, issuing this statement: "We at Google honor Easter and are mortified that our Doodle of Chavez in any way upstaged this Holy Christian Holiday. We are reviewing the way Google Doodles are chosen on a go-forward basis."
The statement appeared to appease some high-profile Christian figures. "I'm not much of a fan of Google," remarked Cardinal Timothy Dolan, "but I appreciate their apology. It shows a sense of respect for Catholicism and Christianity."
The newly-elected Pope is expected to chime in to the controversy later today.
Google has created more than 1,000 doodles since 1998, when the concept was born when company founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin altered the logo to indicate their attendance at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert.
“Doodles are the fun, surprising, and sometimes spontaneous changes that are made to the Google logo to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous artists, pioneers, and scientists,” a Google website reads.

Why would the “newly elected Pope” chime in on this? Is this satire?

They probably saw the error of their ways - that communism results in inestimable human misery and that Christianity would be a better philosophy to follow.

in any way upstaged this Holy Christian Holiday. Upstage? Jesus? Really? Do they think they could "upstage" Jesus even if they wanted to? 100s of millions of people come together to worship the risen Lord yesterday. A few thousand bitched about their punk web site.

Oh give me a break.
You don't actually think this is a sincere apology do you?

This thread is missing something or perhaps it was the ping is missing something. Where is the somewhat disturbing, somewhat funny notation? Oh ... this one is contained within the thread itself.

I give Google a lot of credit here I don't. It was an intentional act. They're only apologizing because of all the negative publicity.

Gosh, this is an even better use of weasel words than the usual “If anyone was offended we deeply apologize” non-apology.

I knew it was April Fool’s Day, and this was just a Fig Newton of your imagination.
The confirmation was the author’s name is your handle spelled backwards.
Still a satisfied customer.
