Take a look at Google's home page--it must be Van Gogh's birthday.
Either that, or it's Google's "Drop Acid at Work" day....
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you click on their modified logos, it takes you to a search on the terms they're celebrating.
So, yeah, Van Gogh.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Do they have an archive anywhere of old special logos?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't seem to be very invested in characterization on VM, though I absolutely agree about the Twilight Zone-ness.
It is Van Gogh's birthday! I can't believe the number of times I've looked at Google today and thought "hmm, something's up with Van Gogh" and yet didn't google him until just now. (Oh, thank you Betsy! I had no idea theere was an archive, and I often miss the special logos)

Actually, yes they do, Abi. I forget exactly what search string led me to them (try googling "past google logos" or something to that effect), but they have them all archived by year.

The Google artist himself. Holiday logos.
God, I missed the Ray one last year. It's making me tear up.

Thanks, Betsy and ita.

sumi, I don't know! In previous trainwrecks, they've let the conductor keep on rolling. But they seem very serious about Making Money this year. In the end, though, I think they'll just threaten him with it and not actually fire him.
