Ok, the Pirate Day came and passed by, we saw Google launching its own Pirate page and adding Pirate language in celebration and to help those who rea’y enjoy de Pwirate talkz. But I was quite surprised as to why TechCrunch would go about imitating the same?

I understand fully that everyone has the right to celebrate such days in any way they like, but one should at least get a bit creative at what one is trying to do. Just adding a floating flag and adding a whole load of rrrrrr’s doesn’t really feel or appear creative or even showing a fancy mood. What it does is plainly reveal that such an action has been taken in imitation as nothing else has been done in the rest of the site to reflect that it has been done to really celebrate the PiRRRRate  Day.

They could have at least tweaked up an option or two or simply changed the color combination to something more rough and dark like the pirates. I appreciate them trying to do something in honour of the Pirate Day, but I expected for something better than just adding a flag and bolstering TechCrrrunch with an army of R’s.
