The title here is a little misleading since there was NO Google Doodle for Memorial Day. There was the tiniest of yellow ribbons over the tiniest of American Flags below the search bar.
Once again, Google has ignored the very people who make their profession possible.
Here are a few doodles from this year:
Martha Graham's 117th birthday: This doodle was animated and extremely detailed, showing various dance moved that Graham developed. Her dance moves were revolutionary at the time because they were, and continue to be, so stupidly irrelevant. I guess I just "don't get it."
Next was Mother's Day. Yes, thank you for that. However, I know as well as you do that Google designers were only trying to stay out of trouble on this one. As a side note, while the Mother's Day doodle has changed yearly, the Father's Day doodle has made only very slight modifications year after year since the early 2000s. I guess fathers aren't as demanding on their liberal Google sons.
The was Audubon's 226th birthday. We all celebrated that. Not.
Earth Day, of course. It would be politically incorrectly devastating to any ACLU member not to fully acknowledge this day.
Charlie Chaplin's 122nd birthday was another very intricate piece: a short film. I expect to see it nominated for as Oscar this year. Wait and see, and tell everyone you heard it here first.
The, and possible the most unbelievable, is the 119th anniversary of the first documented ice cream sunday. This renders me quite speechless.
Except for this: I neither understand nor agree with Google's choice of days to honor.
