google.com — On further investigation it also decorates any Christmas-themed search such as "Christmas". What would be next in themed search results?

    most pointless comment ever.
  • mocha24, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Quick, someone do a search for "boobies"!
  • buss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5same for candy canes. unfortunately a search for festivus doesn't yield anything nearly as interesting.
  • rizzo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3christmas does the same thing
  • Oatmeal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Searching for "gullible" reveals a hidden thing too!
  • fcarreiro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2GaryKing is right, must be an american thing.
    I can't see it even though I use www.google.com.
    But... everybody can see it through a proxy! =)

    Bye bye!
  • Captain_Obvious, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2And that's not all. Try google image search... It shows all sorts of peppermint images.
    http://images.google.com/images?q=peppermint ;)
  • fa_pa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Chasey Lain does not work either :(
  • esteban, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Poop, doesn't work here -- maybe it is only a US thing.
  • eonblue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"same for candy canes. unfortunately a search for festivus doesn't yield anything nearly as interesting."

    No no you mean: unfortunatly a search for festivus doesnt yield anything for the rest of us ;)
  • GaryKing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't see it. Must be an American thing.
  • latinjones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh! Goody gumdrops! Peppermint!!!

    WHO CARES!!! (besides the 615 people who've already dug this)
  • pixelbud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1For those that have criticized this digg, since when did easter eggs become non-technical? I've always included easter eggs on my web site...
  • D-Man, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Screenshot for those who can't see it...

    Apologies for ImageShack - too damn lazy to FTP it to my server...

  • CaptainCalculus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1boobs, legs, google...

    portion of my list of eye candy...
  • reversial, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nice, but not AMAZING. I'm digging it just because it's Google.
  • Nanx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Gaaah! YOU WROTE CHRISTMAS! YOU CAN'T SAY THAT! BAD! IT'S HOLIDAY! HOLIDAY YOU UN-PC BASTARD!
  • Rikushix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Doesn't work for me...even when i go to google.com instead of google.ca
  • Dmaulchris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes it is cool, but didn't work for Christmas Peppermint; could be a semi rendom thing.
  • gregschoen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1>>Searching for "gullible" reveals a hidden thing too!

    DOES NOT... oh crap.
  • Mantus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i was hoping for a line of dreidels when i typed in "Hanukkah", but nothing.
  • gregschoen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1>>That just gave me a brilliant idea, maybe someone should run off and make a digg.com for porn. Now THAT'S a profittable site.

    It exists, just google the two operative words.
  • taggerung, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1For the people that can't see it if your using firefox with the Adblock extension you need to disable it. I couldn't see it until I disabled Adblock
  • thescraps, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow ... I go away from a day and hit front page with a silly link that really has little relevance. Good for the Christmas spirit though... thanks for the diggs.
  • Fractl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0if you search for 'a' the top ad is:

    a
    b
    c
    d

    'test' and '1' used to have similar hits.
  • L0phtpDK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0And when you type in Kwanza....
  • Xiteer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Kewl.. I dig.
  • OwlBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@ Captain_Obvious

    lol, that made me laugh out loud :)

    -Owl
  • Bitgod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Poop doesn't work either
  • harrisbradley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nope, we have a popular Saint living up there. He re-directs. Thanks for your observation citizen.
  • trimsheenapple, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah, it's a yank thing. No digg.
  • donnikhan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1YEAH NOTHING FOR HANNUKAH??? THIS IS TOTAL *****!
  • seunosewa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes, it's definitely an American thing. Perhaps the Google boys want to remind the rest of us that, though it's Christmas, the rest of us are not as important as their American customers. This is so sad, from my point of view, since I'm an African.
  • ruxpin2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0nothing for festivus or channukah
  • citizensagainst, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I bet the evenagelical Christians are pissed that northpole.com is the first google hit for "Christmas."
  • nlnnet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It seems not to work outside of the US. Does anyone know why??
  • c0dek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0looks like a barber shop pole to me...
  • mrgeekguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I shall inform Yukon Cornelius, he will be delighted!
  • Skrag, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting...too bad I can't see the adwords thanks to a firefox extension ;) lol

    Google can be quite creative...sometimes
  • planksconstant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hehehe, thats just neat.
  • tidu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+02 Seinfeld references in one story? nice
  • number8888, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't think it works anymore >_
  • webdwarf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's not that interesting. If anything, its more interesting that only Americans can access it.
  • nymphetamine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0why cant google just send us some candy canes? its not like they cant afford to give one out to everyone.
  • vivek200120, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0doesnt work for me..
  • milkcow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You guys are killin me with this "Holiday" thing...it's been Christmas (the celebration of the birth of Christ, even though most Biblical experts would say it was earlier in the year) for centuries. Why can't people just let it be.
  • obscurelyfamous, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Neat and/or Cool.
  • JisBOSS, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1if you search for "dildo"....
