I just noticed that Google didn’t display the fourth of July doodle when I opened my browsers, and now that I think about it, it hasn’t displayed any doodles for the past few months, is it possible that they stop showing them in different countries, I’m in Italy btw.

I thought the hot air balloon flight last week was stupid… There’s so many new ‘discoveries’ lately, they could change it every 5 minutes.

I reckon they should just leave it the same, and show Earth day or some other MEANINGFUL cause that needs to attract the attention of hundreds of millions of people.
