Google = No Class?

[Triumph]

I'm still trying to understand why it's in poor taste. Ok some guy died during luge. Is it a photo of the guy crashing? No. It's a drawing of a guy luging. Is google somehow profiting from the guy's death? No. WHY is it that when something bad happens, we all have to put on blinders for a few weeks and ignore it until we've found the next news story to entertain us.

It's like when Spiderman 1 was coming out. The poster had an image of the WTC included. Then they were destroyed. Oh my god we must remove all images of the WTC anywhere! It cannot be seen! We must remove all proof that it ever existed! I never understood this, and no one can give a real reason for it other than "It's in bad taste."

I agree. The guy loved lugeing(sp?), he went out doing it.

I'll suggest the OP just pee on his keyboard, that should do something...

Or in the power supply.

Some of the posters on here need to take off their little girl panties and put on their big girl panties...

"Oh NOES! Someone most of us never heard of before died in a practice run for the Olympics, in a sport that has always been dangerous, and teh Google has an image of someone performing that sport on their home page. Will the insensitivity never cease?"

People die every year in sporting accidents, while enjoying their favorite hobby, in car accidents, on every possible holiday imaginable. Should Google stop customizing their homepage to celebrate those events too?

Grow a pair and act like adults.

Just in case anyone missed it.

People die all the fucking time doing all kinds of stuff. Sorry if you live in a fluffy little world where nothing bad happens and you don't want to be exposed to any reality. The guy went out being a man pushing the limits, it should be celebrated not hidden. No one lives forever.

This. These things happen.

It isn't, but a lot of people are overly sensitive pussies and have nothing better to do than be outraged over something inconsequential.

Congrats OP! The collective whines of vaginas like you have succeeded!

Also, this thread makes the first page results when searching for google luge bad taste. Good job! (damn, since posting this it got bumped to second page)

 

[Red Squirrel]

I'm pretty sure these are all planned out in advance.

Also it's the first time I see a logo that takes up most of the page. It actually surprised me at first. I think they are pretty neat tbh. I don't see why people find the silliest things to be offended by, and Amarica's Pussification always responds very quick to that.

Now, what would be classless if someone photoshopped some blood into that pic.

 

[PottedMeat]

lol those animated gif guys work fast. i just saw one where the guy is launched through the bars into the wtc.

 

[RbSX]

Considering the horrible death of the luge athlete yesterday you'd think Google would have more class than to use an image of a luger on their front page logo. :\ It's like they're purposefully trying to get a good laugh about it.

Oh for christ's sake, shut the fuck up already.

I'm sure google intentially went out of its way to do it.

Get real.

This is how I took it as well, but in a society conditioned to be offended at everything, we are in the minority.
