at 2pm, they put the memorial day doodle up.

they had a doodle up in 2013 for memorial day, but not this year until the public outcry.

seems like they have a new person in charge with different ideals....

This thread is hilarious and at all the people switching from Google to Bing. Like supporting Microsoft is any better than supporting google.

You frickers should actually thank google. One of the few companies out there fighting the good fight against crooked cable providers.

I have nothing against Google. I'm not going to switch my search engine because they didn't vomit Old Glory on their site for Memorial Day.

But I do find it sort of peculiar since they have a rep of decorating their homepage for special occasions. I guess for me it's just something that makes me go "huh."

Google switched their "doodles" to be more global recently. Considering the US is only a fraction of their business, do you want them to start having a doodle for every single holiday for all countries they service?

Yes, they are an American company but

They pass on memorial day and a lot major US holidays. They haven't done memorial day plenty of times. Google likes to do different doodle days every year. I have no problem with it. Some of you get butthurt over nothing.

I don't think anyone is mad and I didn't even notice until this I saw this thread. I do find it interesting that Memorial Day was half way over when they put up the Doodle but today they have an environmentalist whacko hero from the start.
