Does not show up for me. Is it limited to N.America?

For those that have criticized this digg, since when did easter eggs become non-technical? I've always included easter eggs on my web site...

Wow ... 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.

Yes, 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.
