LONDON - DOODLE 4 GOOGLE

Doodle 4 Google is a competition for young people across the UK to draw their own Google logo. The winning design was this piece of shit by 15-year-old Daniel Thorne. He said something gay about it showing how "the people are all different races but still are playing together in harmony" and how "the rainbow symbolises peace and the joining of different communities." When it appeared everybody started AIMing each other asking what the fuck it was meant to be. These are some reactions to it:

"What is it meant to be? Convicted Paedophile day? He looks like a paedophile with a woolly hat trying to catch the children." - Andy Capper

"It is about the degradation of / threats to western European civilisation. The joint threats of pollution (black spores), in-breeding (yellow jumper guy), the secularisation of western Europe (melting crucifix - possibly tumbling from a crumbling church spire?), spray cans (reflecting the middle class obsession with vandalism), and wimpy pacifism (Mr Peace Sign). Finally, the hearts have something to do with Princess Diana, our queen of hearts, cruelly stolen away from us. That's us in the middle with the funny scalp, fretting." - Bruno Bayley

"Here's my version of the logo. I put a couple of hidden penises in there." - Ben Rayner

"I think it's a future London as envisaged by the 7/7 bombers: explosions, the destruction of Christianity, the minaret of a mosque rising from the ashes, the ascent of Shariah law enforced by the Taliban guy in the hat, and the joyous harmony that would prevail in a Muslim Britain." - Dom Tunon

"Why does everyone look so spethial? Maybe it's some sort of tribute to the Paralympics in 2012." - Prancehall

"This Google thing has been done in collaboration with the Daily Mirror's Pride of Britain Awards. If this is the pride of Britain, deport me now." - Ronojoy Dam
