Google: Where is my Cinco de Mayo? - Los Angeles Times

It would be nice for Google & GoodleMexico to change their ubiquitous logo on Cinco de Mayo. Aside from the corporate angle, Cinco de Mayo continues to be an important cultural tradition for millions of Mexican American children in the American Southwest and beyond.

I for one have great memories of celebrating Cinco de Mayo in East Los Angeles courtesy of the Los Angeles Unified School District. Not only did we have the opportunity to learn great danzas, taste amazing food, and learn about the various music of MesoAmerica, we were also able to celebrate diversity and cultural heritage before the school year was over.

It shouldn't even matter that Mexico as a country does not celebrate Cinco de Mayo in an official capacity. Cinco de Mayo is our special holiday north of the border. For a company based in California, it sure seems odd that Google has snuffed the holiday throughout its entire history.

Is Mountain View really that detached from El Camino Real?

Check out the article below to learn more about their corporate logo, and the various holidays that are suspiciously absent, and those that are notoriously repeated and have by now become redundant.
