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.

I have taken Google off as my defautl search engine and switched to Bing

I have done the same. Will give BING a try for a while.

Yes, plenty of good alternatives. I have been using Startpage, I am sure there are others.

The Chavez doodle was a statement of their ideology.

The apology was about money. Get the picture? They respond to money. If you are a Christian and you google, you are selling them the rope to hang you.

But it is not just google.
Cable tv-cut it
Corrupt media-dont buy national brands or frequent national chains
Publications/Organizations-find the conservative alternative. AMAC instead of AARP.

</b> you know better than to leave a thread hanging on bold. Cutting down the bold!

[Lazamataz]

It is. And I got a whole bunch of people, even people who SWORE hands-down they wouldn’t get ‘got’ today.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Agreed. I’m one too, and I was ready.

Except I wasn’t.

Google is always playing to the world audience, and we, the US is becoming a smaller part of it . . .

Good job, Mr. Azal. It seems that you have more than nobly accomplished your purpose. I salute you!

If this had been given proper time and ventilation it would have gone viral. Goggle would have apologized for your having made an apology for them.
