Occasionally, Google modifies its official logo to celebrate certain events or to honor some important celebrities from the entire world. As you might know, China is now celebrating the Year of the Pig so this is the perfect moment to place a new logo on the official page of the company. Google China now displays an interesting doodle containing two little pigs meant to honor this special event. It seems like the image is the same photography published
on numerous calendars sent to some Chinese blogger on Valentine's Day.

"There is a tolerant and peaceful side to their character. Such people are never afraid to allow others their freedom of expression; they do not want to cause arguments and if there is any way to avoid arguing, they will probably take this option. They are not weak, however, and if the situation forces them to fight these people will rise to the occasion, whether it is to defend themselves or those close to them. People of the Boar type are the most admired by others," Wikipedia says about the Year of the Pig.

As you can see, people of the Boar type are very admired by others so, no matter if Google isn't a human being, it seems like the company will continue to grow up and attract more and more users to the services provided by the search giant. Wikipedia sustains these people aren't weak and will fight against enemies every time it needs, a personality that is already owned by Google because the company rises against every opponent of its products.

Although this is quite an interesting doodle for Google China, I guess it doesn't compare with the latest one promoted on the main page of the company that made multiple publications sustain Google typed their name wrong, displaying Googe instead of Google.

According to all google results, Chinese Horoscopes are NOT celebrating the year of the pig in 2008. According to all searches I have done and my colleagues have done, 2008 is the year of the RAT. So what gives??????
