Google lashes out at whiner
Spending a few bucks on something that doesn't make the company any money, Google employs a graphical artist who does regular customisations of its logo for all kinds of holidays. For the current Christmas season, he has a theme going with polar bears decorating the logo in the snow.
One visitor took the effort to write an email to the search giant, complaining about the factual inconsistencies in the storyline. " I am curious as to how the larger polar bear learned, over a period of a few days, how to roll blobs of snow in almost perfect spheres," moans the anonymous reader.
In its reply, Google strikes back without mercy. "Dude, [...] in the interim of time which elapsed since we began this response, our attitude toward you, dear correspondent, has segued from righteous indignation at your illogical attack on our graphic designer to warm-hearted gratitude that you cared enough to write to us in the first place."
It's a form of corporate communications we wouldn't mind seeing more often.
