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.

181 posts. This thread was wildly successful. :)
I have two words for you. As they say in Latvia, “Sloof Lirpa!”
You got “GOT”. :)
You did not get ‘GOT’, which depresses me.
Okay, I'm a little rusty on death-cagematches.
I will not challenge TheOldLady.
It is a foreground conclusion that she would kick my *ss.
I get queasy at the sight of blood...especially mine!
Most entertaining. ;-)
Wildly successful so we should cherish it.
They can take this thread FMCDH!
You got a freepmail :)
Thank you for that link. I was aware of the Google/Bing connection but didn’t know what to do about it. I’ve added ixquick to my search engines and will used it from now on.
You’re an angel!
Can somebody give a little help here? What is the right word I'm trying to convey.
"Discuss amongst yourselves."
I’m surprised Google apologized. Better than nuthin.
"I see what you did there".

He had so many fun-er-isms! He and Cheny - good guys

And the hits keep comin.... LOL
Only because they are scared did they apologize.
One of the tenants of that company was, “Don’t be assholes”, which they broke about eight years ago.
Bing has become a better search engine than Google. I use them both for a living, as it were, and while both suck at refining the results, Bing fetches better original results than Google, at least in my extensive experience with it every single day.
You got GOT. :)
However, can they pole dance or do the Harlem Shake?
HA, HA, HA!
The Old Lady gonna git you fo this, Laz : )
