I swear, those yahoos can find anti-Christianism in anything. No doubt they have problems with the kid-designed doodles as well...

Life is sure hard on the overly-sensitive, isn't it?

Wow. So when they ignore other countries' national days, it's OK, but when they don't honour Veteran Day in the States, it means they hate America. Hoookay.

It's people like those described in the article that make me wonder if the majority of Internet users have a disorder somewhere on the Autistic spectrum.

But they haven't ignored other countries national days, like Koninginnedag or La Quatorze Juillet. Surely if they loved America they would have honoured something like Independence Day or Veteran's Day a few times...

And if they weren't anti-Christian, surely they could have humbly honoured Christmas:

What do you base that on?

Each country is serviced by a seperate section of Google. Example to search in Australia, you would type www.google.au so on and so forth. To be fair I have never seen google miss any Australian celebations

Every 9-11 they change their logo to celebrate what some people would cause a heroic day. They have that little character of smiling bin Laden and the one of the O's i shaped like the Pentagon and the L in the word google is like the twin towers.

On the flip side, they never have anything for memorial day.

just kidding
