Google Lays an Egg

Google is not the most traditional or religious organization on earth, but this time they seemed to go out of their way to poke Christians in the eye. Typically on holidays they run the Google banner with a clever or whimsical graphic of some kind. Turning the "oo" in Google into brightly-colored innocuous Easter eggs would have been typical. Not this time, though. In the immortal words of John Belushi, "But N-O-O-O!" This time they stuck a picture of deceased farm union leader Caesar Chavez in the masthead on Easter and then the uproar began. A Google spokesperson issued a low key response to the dust up. "We enjoy celebrating holidays at Google but, as you may imagine, it's difficult for us to choose which events to highlight on our site ..." Oh I understand - a high holiday celebrated by only 1.5 billion or so people around the world is easy to miss. Puh-lease Google! Do you really expect people to not notice when you are peeing on their leg? We all need to be sensitive and caring except apparently when it comes to dumping on Christians. Used Bing lately for your searches?
