Now that's a cow with attitude

Nice logo for the Brewer's Cow.

Google's design pisses people off

In honor of Veteran's Day, Google created this one-day-only logo.

Well, conspiracy-theorists -- and there are a lot of them on the Internet, you know -- are twittering and blogging and having conniptions because they think that red thing peeking out from behind the US flag is a crescent and obviously a nod to Islam which of course proves that Barack Obama is a Muslim.

Okay, it's a lemon, but you know what I mean. 

To anyone who's ever spent a summer in Rhode Island, the sight of that logo triggers happy memories and a craving for something cold, tart and sweet.

To be fair, Del's now has locations in about a dozen states. But if you want the real Del's experience, go to Rhode Island.
