I'm all about the Google Doodle. There's something exciting and quirky about logging onto my computer and being surprised with a decorated Google logo. It serves as a great fact finding mission especially when I'm not familiar with what the Doodle is representative of and interested enough to investigate a bit further.
Today's Doodle was a no-brainer. Who doesn't remember the Flintstone's (well that depends on the age group). But you get the point. Fred, Wilma, Barney, Betty and the gang was a wonderful cartoon. I loved watching and would tune in today if I ever came across an episode during my channel surfing.
Still, I'm just a little miffed at the attention a cartoon garners as opposed to more important or monumental achievements.
Remember this:
August 18th was the 90th anniversary of women obtaining the right to vote or the ratification of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing women the right to vote. So, it's kind of hard not to be slightly offended by fictional pre-historic cavemen and women getting a big shout out with their very own Google Doodle while the accomplishment of women no longer being viewed as second class citizens got a clipboard looking thingy with a pink check mark!
The World Cup, the moon landing, the fall of the Berlin Wall, even Popeye, the sailor man all were honored with official Google Doodles!
What's up with that?
