The anniversary of the invention of Legos. The Persian New Year. The Olympics. Earth Day. St. Patrick’s Day. Martin Luther King, Jr Day. Mother’s Day. Father’s Day. What do these all have in common? They’re all days that Google marks by altering its logo. What about September 11th? Well, it’s the same as Google’s logos on Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day: Unchanged.

Marking Persian New Year and ignoring September 11th? You stay classy, Google. Now you know why I use Yahoo.
