Goddamn assholes. Maybe people like to think of joyous times with a great game than a invasion that had hundreds of deaths associated with it.
You would think that would be any sane person's rational thought process. Sometimes I wonder just how true your username can be...

I'm wondering how they would commemorate D-Day with the Google logo. Maybe create the logo out of blodd stained corpses. Nazi corpses, to show how glorious the war was because we won.

I know it's been said before but I'll say it again:
D-Day was not a purely American operation, you tosser!

God, get a grip. It's not like they celebrate tetris every year. It's just that 25th is a much more signifigant anniversery than 65th.

Un-American so all the British, Canadian etc. Soldiers yeah they just weren't their thats part of the fairy tales to make the other nations feel important. Get off you high horse America, may be uncaring or whatever but to say un-american well thats just stupid in my opinion.
You aren't alone. Seriously. This is a message to every American who still cares about this kind of crap (I know most people on here don't. Show this to the next person who does care!);

Get. Over. World. War. Two. You turned up late and have spent the last six decades overstating your importance in it while everyone else is trying to move on. I'll give you an analogy; When I turn up late for college, I don't spend the next month telling everyone that I made a comment that our tutor said was a "good point"...

Fucking American government. I like Americans, but I hate America if that makes sense.

It's Anti-American, ay'? What about all the English troops?

And for that matter, surely this is shaming the soldiers. They didn't get in the war for props, they got in the war to protect their country. I doubt they'd care if they weren't part of a banner for a website.

WHAT THE F...

Okay, what sounds like the more fun when you're going to google something.

Tetris letters spelling "Google"
or
Bullets, blood, death, and crying families spelling "Google"

HONESTLY?!

I would love to know why people take such decisions personally, it's better than a swift kick in the balls I'll deliver to someone I hear complaining about this.

i dont suppose it mattered what google did, if they did do a d-day logo im sure we all would be commenting on a report telling us that america is in uproar about the fact google has chosen d-day over tetris's 25th anniversery lol

Isn't the 25th anniversary of something more recognized than the 65th anniversary? Also, more people are alive to remember playing Tetris than storming Normandy.

I realize that a major event of World War II deserves some recognition, but Memorial Day was only two weeks ago and that's far bigger than a single battle that many non-Americans contend was not as important as some earlier battles in the war.

Ultimately, it's conservatives wanting a huge, multinational company to honor an American event because "patriotic" American companies do so.

Also, I saw NO MENTION WHATSOEVER of D-Day this June 6. It's not just Google's fault.
