… that I don’t admit when I’m talking out of my back passage. Within 30 seconds of me posting my Google logo rant this morning, my self-righteous finger pointing was proven to be self-important gasbaggery.
@MatthewHill: (link to Google logos page) Second logo down.
Google Deutschland Berlin Wall Logo
Ah. That’d be a Berlin Wall Google logo. Admittedly it was only visible in Germany, but maybe the other Eastern Bloc countries genuinely care more about Muppets than the end of Communist rule.
Still, my indignation was only 50% codswallop. Why wasn’t Google UK wearing a poppy? Damnit, I have a nasty scratch along my elbow from poppy-pin based cackhandedness. They didn’t need to shed blood, but they should at least do something!
Ah.
Google UK Armistice Day Logo
Something like that I suppose.
I’m going to stick to copywriting. Social commentary in regards to search engine giants is just making me look foolish.
When I’m not making a moron of myself, I do actually write some good blog articles! Take a look at my theory on Pyramid Posting, or this analysis of the WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS! meme.
Or just call me a pillock in the comments section.

Haha, I wasn’t being a tosser about it. That tweet makes me sound indignant, but really I’d simply had a similar conversation the day before. Not too much to worry about fella — I guess Google tether logo changes to the sun coming up in the States.

If anything, I’ve learned to keep my mouth shut until all the facts are all in.
Actually, no. I’ve not. I’ve learnt that the next time this happens I should take credit for it. “The Man Who FORCED Google to Mark Armistice Day” – that’s what The Sun would call me. In their EXCLUSIVE!
