Title: What days Google celebrates...
Post by: Manedwolf on June 06, 2008, 09:36:18 AM: I'd noticed their lack of patriotism before, since they didn't do anything for Memorial Day, either.

Today, they have a tribute to the birthday of painter Diego VelÃ¡zquez in their logo.

Funny. I thought today was also the anniversary of D-Day.

But then, people I know who have visited Google offices have reported that it's all moonbats and Obamaniacs, so I'm not overly surprised.

Not just American.

Eh, they did. There was a yellow ribbon or summat.

Things like blocking pro-freedom websites, tracking down and passing data on dissident bloggers, etc.

They make the WW2 Swiss policies vis a vis Nazi Germany & Jews almost humane.

Google's Global.

Not just American.

True, but they have over 700 different datacenters worldwide. They could serve up something patriotic on the US servers.

Post by: K Frame on June 06, 2008, 04:19:51 PM: So have you contacted them about it?

Better tell them to commemorate Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Midway, Guadalcanal, Philippines Liberation, the skipping over of Rabaul, etc.

Google's search engine is global, but the company and values are grounded in ~~the U.S.~~ socialism.

Just needed a small tweak.
