Google's Holiday logos...

'Been noticing this deal develop over the past several days.
Pure PC gutlessness.
I'm embarrassed for them.

xmas is a lie
santa claus doesn't exist
even jezus wasn't born on this exact day for those who actually do believe in jezus

if xmas spirit is putting up a fake happy face because it's supposed to be so, and then getting suckered into buying stuff just because everybody else does...then no , i'm not in to xmas

i'm pretty positive all year round, but this time of year i'm gettting pretty much fed up with all the hypocritical *****e... bring on 2006 and be done with it.

The guys at GOOGLE are a bunch of hard-core Christmas-haters. I sent them an e-mail last year about their policy of ignoring Christmas. They actually responded with some crap about "inclusiveness", as though putting a Santa Claus logo on Christmas would piss any sane person off. The impression I got is that they weren't ignoring it because they wanted to be PC, they actually enjoy going out of their way to "dis" Christmas.

Stijn -- want a job at Google?

cool to know that I wasn't the only one who was at least slightly annoyed with this. I figured perhaps they would do a "christmas" theme at least for the 25th, but no dice. pretty weak if you ask me

Yeah, I was thinking that the cat & mouse pulling on those two electric cords were going to at least plug in a set of lights. No harm, there. But an electric treadmill? And the cat then rejoicing?
My paranoia tells me that the punks at Google projected their own smugness into this.
As in, "You traditionalists fell for it, didn't you? He he."
