Google Holiday Banner

[Yupo]

Today is President's Day. Usually Google has a daily art message in the banner about whatever the holiday, or about some important historic figure associated with the date.
Today's banner is quite clearly a dung beetle, although rolling up a snowball, with a little video to tie in the Winter Olympics. I think they are saying something about what they think of POTUS. It is subtle and offensive. Wonder what are your thoughts? don't know how to save the image or video, but it is up there today.

Doodle Snow Games - Day 11


Welcome to Day 11 of the Doodle Snow Games! On this brrr-eezy day in PyeongChang, we're joined by athletes from all over the world hoping to prove themselves best in class (or species).

Let’s follow Magpie to the slopes for a fluttering glimpse of today’s action…

Get ready for the skeleton competition, the bones of which are racing headfirst down an icy track on an itty-bitty sled. Once Beetle finishes practicing the frozen shot put and scurries off the field, we’ll get the ball ro--wait, not literally!

...All part of the snow, folks? Without the skeleton sled, Beetle’s armored body will have to surf-ice. Hurtling down the steep straightaways, even a buginner can reach speeds up to 80 eeks! or 130 yikes! per hour. Can the tiny yet mighty Beetle scarab the points for a win?

When it comes to the jump, Beetle’s natural flying talent can’t be eclipsed, but there’s no shedding that snowball. Oof. Will the extra-frosty finish affect the final score? Not in the slide-est, it seems!

Our antenna picked up this statement by the new six-legged sledder: “Wow-ee! If the skeleton were a fellow beetle, I’d write love letters full of hugs and kisses. Like, ‘Ex-oh ex-oh skeleton. You complete me.’”

Phew. After all the excitement of that wild slide, Beetle must be one pooped ‘roller.


Stop by every day for the next week to catch all the fun in the Doodle Snow Games!

It could be a dig against the POTUS. But, I am not convinced. Lots of double-entendre and punning around, though.

If not a dig, interesting that a federal holiday was completely ignored. To be fair, I don't know how often such holidays are ignored in this way.

As far as I see it - and I can be wrong of course - that google is mainly concentrating on the Olympic winter games.

I appreciate the feedback.
