I am not as freaked out as others about the lack of a Memorial Day Google Doodle but I do think the critics have a reasonable point.
Yes Memorial Day is primarily a holiday in the United States but Google has done doodles for a variety of nation specific doodles and honoring those who have died in service of their country seems a thing most people can get behind.
But beyond that I am intrigued by the lack of PR savvy in this incident. Certainly they had to know there would be objections to the lack of a doodle and it’s not like the holiday snuck up on them without warning.
