1. hmmm... I'm sure it's just an innocent oversight

2. The Google doodlers are the greatest artists in the WORLD!

[Luminous Animal]

4. Except, it seems, U.S. citizens are not allowed to see this great artist.

No great artistic celebration of labor for us.

3. Google Spain has one but it doesn't have a worker theme.

They're appeasing it...just like they appeased the fascists in Beijing by making it impossible to link to anything involving the word "democracy".

Google is all about the sellout.

5. Not in Canada either.

[Ken Burch]

13. Canada has a right-wing government.

Anybody know if it showed up on GOOGLE UK?

[snagglepuss]

14. But the decision not to show it is Google's. What does Harper or

Obama for that matter have to do with this?

[Ken Burch]

21. Yes, it is Google's. But Google has often been about appeasement.

That's the point I was trying to make.

They get it that Harper doesn't want Canadians to see anything pro-worker...so they do what he wants.

Same with Spain, most likely(it's risky to get on the wrong side of the successor party to Franco's Phalange, which is what the so-called "Popular Party" is).

19. It didn't; but it is on the German Google

and they have a RW government. It's not on the French or Dutch Googles.

I think if we wait till tomorrow, they'll give us a list of where it was used.

10. There's no doodle at all on the Google Japan site

Just the standard Google logo

[NYC Liberal]

11. Um, I'm pretty sure this is only in the countries that celebrate Labor Day on May 1.

It's not in Canada, the UK, or France (those are the few I tried).

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

16. It's visible on Google.it (Italy)

we celebrate labor day on May 1.
