As a follow up to my own Burned Out on Google Doodles, it seems there is now a sort of backlash against the last one celebrating the 119th anniversary of the Ice Cream Sundae.

The main points of contention is as follows:

  1. Is it really the 119th anniversary of the Ice Cream Sundae?
  2. Google UK completely ignored Mother’s Day over here with it

I would also add the 119th anniversary of the Ice Cream Sundae is kind of a silly anniversary to observe, if you’re doing that then you might as well do it every yea, which then falls into the category of “was it kind-of/sort-of sneaky advertising the upcoming new release of Android (often speculated to be call… Ice Cream, or maybe Ice Cream Sundae if you follow the FroYo way of thinking)”.

Either way we’re now at 56 Doodles this year with only 94 days gone in 2011.
