<p>In case you haven&#8217;t noticed, today would have been <a id="aptureLink_06GJN6vsGQ" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael%20Jackson">Michael Jackson&#8217;s</a> 51st birthday. With the social media revolution in full swing, it&#8217;s a no-brainer that Google would replace their logo today with something related to the King of Pop. I think it says something about our culture that Google chose to honor him in this way on the same day Senator Edward M. Kennedy is laid to rest. I&#8217;m not saying it&#8217;s good or bad, but just a glimpse our culture through Google&#8217;s home page. I&#8217;m sure Google had this planned before the senator passed away, so I&#8217;m not really bothered by it.  Some people seem to have a very polarizing position in one way or another.</p>
