I think many of us will agree that Google's special logos have been a little half-assed lately. Have a look at this one, which was up yesterday in honor of the 3rd day of the Olympics.

Never would I have imagined Google to have stooped so low as to have a nondescript monkey on gymnastics rings as its logo. Upon first sight of it, I thought that I had mistakenly gone to www.dogpile.com, nobody's favorite search engine.
For starters, they could have made it more clever and witty, by at least using a Chinese animal, such as a monkey with Chinese eyes, or a fortune cookie. This monkey looks like it should be an iron-on on the butt of some shorts being sold at Contempo Casuals.
Another example is this one from Mother's Day:

Google has started putting things in place of the letter G that are not shaped like a G! I am furious about it. A
retarded white tiger could find something shaped like a G to put there for Mother's Day.
Keep it up Google, and we'll all switch back to
Blackle, the unsuccessful attempt of Google to make a black Google.
