I like Google
They have this cool search engine, thing-a-ma-jig that works pretty well. But it has always irked the daylights out of me that they can put up a logo for every holiday under the sun, but can't find it within themselves to put even a secular themed holiday logo - think a bunny or some eggs - on Easter.
It's not as if there aren't non-observant folks out there who have Easter egg hunts with the kids or hold family gatherings on this traditional American holiday.
Pansies.
UPDATE: Google logos of all sorts, here. You have to go back to 2001 to find Easter.

1. I could have sworn they did in years past. Maybe it wasn't ready in time?
At least one of their 200-IQ engineers spent a few seconds throwing this together. Better than nothing, right? (Right?)
2. Eric, perhaps it is time for you to turn in for the night - if it is important to you that your search engine have a logo for Easter switch to one that does.
For those of us that celebrate the resurrection, a logo on Google just isn't terribly important.
Sheesh.
3. Hmm. The more Eric I read the more I wonder if Eric reads

4. davemicro -
No, I don't. Because when I go to Google's main page it's not there nor is there a link to it. So, I'm not really sure what the point of that not-readily-accessible page is unless I like to play simplistic games with a mouse.
5. I'm with you, Eric... Yet another corporate titan kowtowing to the will of the radical Left. Traditional values are worth fighting for!
6. You'll keep on using their search engine anyway.
7. and in other news along this line, Wilder is not being allowed to show his anti-islamic film even on the internet. (obviously no showing in a theatre ... anywhere in europe.) His website has been shut down. Fear of violence even at the mention of there might possibly be someting uncomfortable about radical islam.
8. Sorry Eric, this one gets a
"MEH" rating.
9. If we're going to get upset about a lack of logos on Google, start with Memorial Day or Veterans Day.
10. Geez, you think people would have something better to be outraged about.
11. I don't know the point of playing the game either. It seems about as significant as the warm fuzzy feeling of the logo being modded to fit the holiday. Not really earth shattering, but I guess you've got to fill space with something.
12. Eric- I am sorry you feel that your holiday is overlooked by American society. If it makes you feel better, this atheist Jew has been known to ski in a bunny suit on Easter.
