Google’s Sesame Street Obsession

What is going on with Google? They often put up alternative graphics for a day commemorating holidays or anniversaries of one thing or another, but last week they started marking Sesame Street’s 40th anniversary and they haven’t stopped. On Wednesday, it was Big Bird’s legs. On Thursday, they were still at it with Cookie Monster taking our queries. One Friday, Ernie and Burt were up on the home page, perhaps doubling as a celebration of It’s a Wonderful Life. Over the weekend I had no need to search web pages, but today, Monday, they are still at it with the vampire who counts things. Which seven-year-old did Brin and Page leave in charge of the store? Probably one who no one has seen in thirty years.
