Valentine's Day google doodle
HAPPY Valentine's Day
Today, Google is celebrating Valentine’s Day the world over with a charming animated “Doodle” that is free of dialogue — yet is all heart. In some countries,
n the animation’s sweet story, a boy seeks the best way to show his affection for a girl adept at skipping rope and rebuffing amorous advances. The lad taps Google in his quest to woo her, but his online searches for flowers and chocolates and colorful balloons — all the ol’ trite-and-true go-to gifts for Valentine’s Day — prove fruitless in real time. The girl is unmoved. Even a top hat containing a peek-a-boo bunny holds no romantic magic.
Valentine’s Day, of course, has a long and winding history that runs from the martyred Saint Valentine (a third-century Roman priest who is said to have been executed on Feb. 14 for standing up for Christian marriage), through the towering poetic pen of Geoffrey Chaucer through the adoption of cherubic Cupid up to, well, the rhyming pen of Hallmark.
