You've gotta be kidding me.
Check out Google today.
A cute little (kinda gay-looking, but cute) squirrel, a purty little purple bird, a little tree with a little nest and a little just-hatched birdie with his not-hatched-yet little brother...
If it wasn't Earth Day, I would really appreciate something like that.
Michelle Malkin pointed out about three weeks ago that Google paid homage to van Gogh. Shortly thereafter they did the same for da Vinci. I have no problem with that. Couple of great guys. The problem is they didn't do a thing for the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter. It wouldn't have been that hard. Show three crosses on a hill on one side, and an empty tomb on the other. A billion Christians would've felt happy. But for the sake of worshiping at the altar of PC-ness, they shunned us. Couldn't offend those non-Christians. But they'll remake their front page for an artist or inventor. Okay.
I doubt they would put up an image of Mohammed or Buddha or [insert your false idol here] on their special days. Wouldn't put it past 'em, though. What they don't understand is that Earth Day is a religious holiday as much as Christmas and Easter are Christian holidays. Yes. That's right. When I said "the altar of PC-ness", I wasn't joking. Political correctness is a branch of the church of humanism. Everybody worships something- be it God, or Allah, or some Hindu god, or money, or television, or themselves. Many people worship people. That's what humanism is.
Side rant: I always wondered, when I was in The System Designed To Produce Non-thinking, Ignorant Sheeppublic school, why it was that they couldn't teach anything Christian- on the basis of the not-written-anywhere-in-the-Constitution "separation of church and state"- but they were free, in fact encouraged, to shove secularism and humanism down my throat.
Back on topic. Google has spurned the most important Christian holiday, but blatantly supports one of the most precious humanist ones. Nice double standard, people. Can I expect jack-o-lanterns and ghosts on Halloween?
Aah, what the heck. I'll still continue to use Google, I like their service. Will I write them a letter? Nah. I'll just bash them from the safety of my blog.
They're still wrong, though.
Oh, yeah, I'm making up a holiday. Today is Worldwide Flagrantly Abuse and Waste Precious Resources Day, and it coincides with Pimp-slap a Tree-hugging Hippie Day. Enjoy.
Have we started taking that sweet, sweet crude out of the ANWR yet?
UPDATE, a few minutes later: I forgot something. They obviously ignored Easter in order not to offend non-Christians. Well, in celebrating Earth Day over Easter, you've offended me. But- somehow- America has gotten to the point where it's just about illegal to offend anyone that's not a Christian, but almost a necessity to offend Christians as often as possible.
Maybe we should launch another Crusade. Hmm. Straighten some things out.
Oh, after a bit of research, I found that they have something for Halloween every year. Something for Chinese New Year almost every year. And- every year- "Season's Greetings". Not Christmas.
Yeah. That phrase offends me, too. The government needs to abolish it, pronto. Maybe this December I'll just throw around half a dozen lawsuits against people that use "Season's Greetings".
Be scared, world. Be very scared.
Grr.
