MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — As is tradition with all major holidays and birthdays of particularly important historical figures, Google’s logo will be artistically modified temporarily in observance of Ginerva Napolitano, who is of course, the quilt-maker who inspired female cobblers to fight for representation in Malaysian cinema 84 years ago.
Napolitano’s legacy is so indelible in the hearts and minds of the American people, it’s difficult to imagine what Malaysian cinema even looked like before the cobblers started crafting those soft leather heels with ruby-red flourishes that everyone remembers so vividly. “Like anyone else, I took those references to female cobblers in my favorite Malaysian films ‘Leila Majnun’ and ‘Samarang’ for granted,” said Netflix user Edward Barkley.
Although it can be challenging to choose which historical figures are worthy of having their contributions honored on Google’s homepage, Google CEO Sundar Pichai made it clear that Napolitano was an exception.
“Sometimes people see Google Doodles and think ‘Who the fuck is this?’” admitted Pichi. “But with Napolitano, it’s safe to say all Google users will savor a moment of reflection about how lucky they are to have lived in a world enriched by her work.”
The original quilt responsible for inciting the famous ‘Bloodshed Riots’ which finally convinced Malaysian filmmakers to change their ways is the inspiration for the Google Doodle. Each of the letters in Google’s name will be ‘stitched’ together and accented with a brick red tint superimposed on a Malaysian flag.
“I couldn’t be happier with the artwork,” chirped Gemma Louise, who is employed as a cobbler. “Female cobblers, specifically those inspired by quilt-makers, have come such a long way in Malaysian cinema.”
At press time, internet users were excitedly playing the violent Google Doodle mini-game based on the American Civil War.
