Google Fucks Up “First Day of Fall”

March 20, 2009
Filed under:Bitchin

My first thought upon opening up my interwebs and beginning work this morning was "Hey, the Very Hungry Caterpillar!  Awesome!"  Thinking that it was some sort of tribute to the author or the book or something, I rolled over the "Google" image, as you do, to see what the story is.

"First Day of Fall - Design by Eric Carle" it says.  Being that The Googs cleverly provides a link via the image directly to a search related to their wacky logo stylings, I click through to the search result.

"Something isn’t quite right here" thought I when I first saw the word "Fall" instead of "Autumn".  I soldiered on to each of the results pages and was astounded.

Every single Top 10 result is US-centric, or at least focused on the Northern Hemisphere.  Every.  Single.  One.

Which is fine, don’t get me wrong… if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere.

Now is when I get a bit pissy at The Googs and want to start thumping some heads.

For starters, here in Australia, they simply don’t call it "Fall", it’s "Autumn" and nothing else. Also, it’s the first day of March, not the 21st.

IT IS NOT SIMPLY AMERICA UPSIDE-DOWN YOU RIDICULOUS FUCKING TWATS.  Changing the wording for an image that’s obviously meant to symbolise Spring on the wrong fucking day tells roughly 25 million people that you don’t give a fuck about their actual culture.

I wouldn’t have said a thing if this were simply on their normal US-centric homepage, but to put it on the country-specific websites is inviting someone like me to call you "ridiculous fucking twats".

Wanna hear the kicker?  They at least got the naming right for the kiwis but still got the date wrong.

On the part of my passion for my adopted home, it may certainly be a case of "small man syndrome" of which I am well familiar having outgrown my 5′6" father by the age of 13, it is also definitely a case of "a pat on the head turned really insulting" by highly visible representatives of my atrociously arrogant former home.  Fuckheads.

Too bad my entire business depends on ‘em.  Flah.
