I think the chickens that laid those things deserve alot of the credit.

I think Fabergé laid them himself. That's why he is famous.

Uh...on Monday there was an American flag with that stupid yellow ribbon on it on the Google main page, linking to 'Memorial Day 2012'.

In other news, google.com can be accessed from anywhere on the Internet not behind a great firewall.

businesses exist to make profit, not promote nationalism.

They couldn't be bothered to do anything, other than what they did do.

Also, after looking for what they did, it seems that people are quite upset that they didn't put up a giant American flag with Uncle Sam beating the crap out of a terrorist while f*cking Marilyn Monroe.

Subby, all that outrage is going to eat you alive and / or land you a job at Fox News.

//go f*ck your sorry self, meat

Why does Google refuse to commemorate Memorial Day in exactly the way right-wing bloggers want them to commemorate it, specifically by increasing the yellow ribbon and American flag they used to a size that is, while indeterminate, sufficiently large enough to not upset their tummies or rustle their jimmies?

Is it because they're Islamohomocommunists?

DarnoKonrad: Aarontology: businesses exist to make profit, not promote nationalism.

The irony being the biggest flag-wavers also tend to be the biggest proponents of amoral market freedom.

It's a really interesting contradiction. The type of corporate based capitalism that's in play today sees nothing but markets and labor pools, not nations or people. Especially when it's these huge international companies like Google. Yet at the same time, there is a hesitancy to openly endorse and admit this particular aspect. The concept of an "American business" in an age where significant amounts of revenue are generated overseas is kind of ridiculous.

It's also like that Eduardo Saverin guy. Nations mean little to people of his stature since he has the power to simply go and do business wherever he wants. Citizenship for people like him is merely for what's most convenient at the moment.

In a weird way, the modern form of capitalism is more internationalist and has done more to remove borders and wither away the state than communism ever did.

Doodling a Memorial Day theme on the Google logo sort of cheapens a solemn holiday, don't you think?

If they did do something, someone else would complain that "they're insulting the memory of our troops!"

So, just straight opinions are getting greenlit now?

You.... you people actually think that headline isn't tongue-in-cheek? Jesus fark.

The only problem I have with Google is what they do with data they collect, and the whole wireless connection snooping thing.
SECURE YOUR DAMN ROUTER PEOPLE!
It really isn't much trouble.

Lux Lambert: I'm increasingly convinced a large number of right wing folks secretly get off on being outraged all the time, and have to manufacture outrage where they can, for... personal performance reasons.

It's the #1 reason why reality TV is such a hit.

scavenger: For Ronal Reagan's birthday, they better have Ronnie with angel wings using a flaming sword to destroy communism.

That's their MLK Day theme.

really? "you ain't never done seen"? really?

I'm basically the king of outrage over shiatty right wing troll headlines, so this is making a lot of people look pretty silly
