About Google Doodles (How to contact them with opinions/ideas)

Doodles are the fun, surprising, and sometimes spontaneous changes that are made to the Google logo to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous artists, pioneers, and scientists.

Who chooses what doodles will be created and how do you decide which events will receive doodles?

A group of Googlers get together regularly to brainstorm and decide which events will be celebrated with a doodle. The ideas for the doodles come from numerous sources including Googlers and Google users. The doodle selection process aims to celebrate interesting events and anniversaries that reflect Google's personality and love for innovation.

How can Google users/the public submit ideas for doodles?

They’ve been doing this at every opportunity for a decade. This one in particular they’ve probably had circled on their calendar for years.

They’re reading these irate emails aloud to each other today, mocking them, and passing their favorites around to their friends. Nothing makes them happier than knowing they’ve made Christians upset on the Holiest day of the year.

Don’t give them the satisfaction. Not today.

Rejoice... the Lord is risen.

OH SH*T!-— I thought it was Hugo...man - do I feel like an idiot!!!

WOW — I thought it was a young Hugo Chavez of Venezuela — uhm...perhaps I should look into this more before jumping on the emotional roller coaster...

At any rate...they diss Easter and Christ...but I guess they picked someone that is respectful and did something for his community...well, I’m a jacka55!

Here is something you can do. You can start your own search engine and then you will be free to do whatever doodle you like on each of the holidays.

I'm thinking of starting my own search site and calling it Fork.com. I might have to buy the www.fork.com domain but what the hell, seems like the owner is not doing much with it anyway.

So instead of "googling" your way around the internet, you can "fork" your way around the internet using my Fork search engine. Imaging "forking" Sandra Bullock instead of just "googling" her. Now that's what I'm talking about. Fork.com could potentially make me one of those Internet billionaires and I'll be able to roller skate down the hallway of my corporate headquarters, not shave every morning and show up late for meetings and nobody will be able to do anything about it because I will own the company and I will be hailed as a genius.

I'll make the cover of WIRED and technology paparazzi will flock to my press conferences as I announce my latest product - in "beta" form of course. Forget Google glasses. I'm going to embed the Internet into a fork so that you can surf the Internet while you're eating.

But back to the doodles, I'm going to have the best holiday doodles on my Fork.com search engine landing page in the industry. For example, on Patriots Day, I'm going to have a bunch of dead Redcoats on the top with their blood trickling down the page to form the word FORK. On St. Patricks Day, I'm going to have web page go green and there will be a drunken leprechaun spilling green beer into the FORK logo. On V-J Day, I'm going to show a Japanese Zero warplane on fire crashing into the FORK logo with a mushroom cloud coming up from below.

It will be awesome. And yes, people will complain. Then I shall go public and list my stock for $17.76 a share.
