Google has put out a special logo today to commemorate the late Michael Jackson’s 51st birthday.
It’s a bit intriguing that Google has chosen to commemorate Michael on a day also marked across the nation as a tribute to the late Senator Ted Kennedy, I’m sure deciding one over the other may have been a difficult chore for Googlers, as the United States has lost a true democratic leader and the last of his generation.
Michael Jackson however, is an International superstar (and Google is an International phenom) who like Kennedy, is still shining bright, so there are no complaints here.
Looking at other engines, neither Yahoo, Bing, Dogpile or Ask.com are paying tribute to Michael or Kennedy today, so good for you Google and thanks for reminding the world that today is Michael’s b-day.
Aww Nice One There =]
I Had A Great Day At Trafalgar Square Celebrating MJ’s Birthday
Sen. Ted Kennedy was a good senator and he will be remembered as part of the one of the most well-known political families in the United States but Michael Jackson, a universal icon who comes only once in a lifetime had a profound influence on millions of people around the globe, commemorating him on his global birthday does a great favor for us. I commend the Google webmasters for doing a FINE job. THANK YOU
moron celebrating freaks
Ted Kennedy was disgusting.
Michael Jackson was a perverted, druggie freak.
Get it straight and stop bowing to political correctness.
Thank Google they’re both taking it up the ass from Hitler right about now.
:)
Get a life you a**.
Hater, hahaha.
you just a lowlife that likes to make fun of people.
i bet you cant even stand up for yourself in person so you do it over the web? pretty sad.
i love what google did:)
happy b-day Michael <33
YOU WILL SOON BE JUDGED. GET A LIFE PEOPLE NEW HE HAD MONEY AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU THATS ALL YOU WANT!!!!!!
HE MITE HAVE PAID THEM OFF BUT THAT WAS BECAUSE HE WAS TOLD TO A** HOLE
danke you are a stupid person how can you say such things about the Kennedys and Michael may God have mercy on you my child do you have any education because you write like a dumb person I think you are looking for friends very sorry for you.
wow!??? and I thought Hitler was crazy…..
Go back to kindergarten and learn the golden rule danske
be kind or be quiet…
Yep. Just think. One of these days, MJ, TK and Hitler will all be getting you up the arse.
PS, to the webmaster, it took me exactly 7 tries to get my comment posted. That’s insane. No, I’m not a robot. No, I’m not a spammer. No, I’m not giving you my email. No reason it should take me 15 minutes just to post a single comment.

Clever… you child.
I just came back from celebrating MJ’s b-day at Prospect Park, Brooklyn. What a day! About 15,000 strong crowd of all ages and nationalities sang and danced to his music! And after 5 hours nobody wanted to leave! You can say what you want about the man, but he simply cannot be compared to anyone on this planet right now, maybe not for a very long time. He has touched so many people with his art. Art trumps politics any time—can you imagine a large group of people congregating to celebrate Ted Kennedy’s life? Fuhgeddaboutit. Thanks google for your MJ tribute. So noted and appreciated.
Danske – I think you need to think before you speak!!! Kennedy was a great political leader and Jackson not only was a musical genius but was loved around the world and will be remembered for generations!!!
Bowing to so called Political Correctness is very different from having respect for the dead!!
RIP Jackson and Kennedy!!!
You said it best! Having respect for the dead, paying tribute to the works and not the personal lives of the legends can help us all not be so judgmental. Besides, I’m sure Danske has a sinless life in the eyes of God…YEAH RIGHT!!!
Loved the Google Logo – brilliant way to celebrate an nextraordinary talent the King of Pop. His music will forever live on!
Nice….what a clever idea to continue the memories of Michael and help celebrate Michael’s birthday. Thank you for sharing..
Google should stay out of this one. Jackson settled with his first molestation victim. That says a lot.
Also, I don’t care if Mr. Jackson was regressed or an addict or had a tough childhood or anything else. He was an adult who adversely affected the lives of some children to satisfy his eccentric antisocial desires. That’s all that matters.
He also payed the mob a record sum to promote Thriller but that’s another story…
Oh, I suggest everyone listen to Prince instead anyway. Better music. Cooler dude. He’s my King.
mj was a good man jerk pg
Thank you yoyoyo! :0)
soooo PG, why did you comment? be kind or be quiet-
thank you google!!!
that was a nice thing for you to do!! to all you negative folks out there get a life, leave the rest of as alone who want to celebrate, commenorate and grieve in peace.
i love it, great job google. another reason why they’re my favorite search engine

This is so sweet for google inc. to honor Michael Jackson on his birthday. Thank you very much google. I just saw a telecast from Mexico where about 50,000 people celebrated Jackson’s birthday with a thriller dance. That was very nice to see. Thank you Mexico! Our Michael Jackson was all about love. And isn’t it amazing how hate always rears its ugly head on forums? Thank goodness love and kindness trumps all that. RIP, Ted Kennedy. You will be missed.
MICHAEL JACKSON WAS A GREAT MAN THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DID NOT UNDERSTAND. HE IS NOW AT PEACE. PLEASE LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!! YOU HATED A GOOD SOUL THAT HELPED SO MANY PEOPLE AND CARED SO MUCH FOR THE WORLD CAN EVERYONE JUST LET HIM REST. IT IS SAD THAT HIS CHILDREN HAVE TO
SEE WHAT YOU HATEFULL PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THERE FATHER. THINK ABOUT HIS CHILDREN……… IT IS NOT YOUR PLACE TO JUDGE HIM THAT IS GODS JOB. LISTION TO HIS MUSIC, NOT JUST THE MUSIC THE WORDS AND THEN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE KIND SOUL HE WAS. THANK YOU A MICHAEL JACKSON TRUE FAN. JAMAICA
LOVE IT – WAY 2 GO GOOGLE! I AM A DIE HARD FAN OF MICHAEL JACKSON, 2DAY – 2MORROW – AND ALWAYS!!!!
Google THANK YOU for your genius. Happy birthday Michael. The world miss you!!!
WOW Google is alway so creative!!! I love your way of celebrating MJ’s bday. It means the whole world to MJ’s fans. I just bought a CD/DVD of Michael’s “Thriller” as a birthday present to him. Google forever and MJ HAPPY BDAY!!!
GOOGLE YOU ROCK!! My hat is off to GOOGLE for paying tribute to the ONE AND ONLY TRUE KING OF POP!! Myself and the WORLD will always love Michael Jackson and we should always do what we can to keep his legacy alive. I also want to say I think Ted Kennedy was an AWESOME man and I respected him tremendously. I am very saddened by his passing as well. Ted Kennedy will ALWAYS be remembered for all the outstanding things he has done. May GOD bless BOTH Mr. Ted Kennedy and Mr. Michael Jackson. I pray they BOTH will rest in heavenly peace.
Lol even Google supports MJ. They basically just slapped the haters across the face.
HAHA! good one. So true, i love google for that!!!!!!!! SHAKE DEM HATERS OFF. I don’t even know why haters are commenting on here if they so call “hate michael”. Go find something to do. Happy belated b-day MJ, we love you! RIP KING OF POP
God Bless all of our Heroes as there are so few left.
Let us find the good in all who have been blessed to pass our way.
Good night and God Bless each and every one of you..
PS
I am praying that all of us shall take our admiration and respect for all of the really great work that both Senator Ted Kennedy performed in Washington for 47+ years as well as that of Michael Jackson for almost the same ( except that it was almost all of his short life ) and …
Let it motivate us to go out and try to do a fraction of what they did not for money but to leave this world having truly made a difference that
we, the living
can admire and thank them BOTH that we had the opportunity to know them.
As my young daughter say ” I have places to go, people to see, things to do to make a difference in the world… how about you?
i really miss u michael i love and you will always be in my heart at all times

….>>>>3333>>>> love you so much MJ!!! you mean so much to me and mommy…. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I’ll always send a little prayer for you everyday….miss you much!!!!
Ted Kennedy=Murderer….Michael Jackson=Child Molester….people commenting here as if they know MJ personally=Losers and finally Google needs their collective heads examined.
Did you know the man personally? Are you sounding off on information fed to you by the media? Did you hear him write and sing about molestation? Did you hear it in his music or were you a guest in his home? If you are going to go off of what you see or hear then why not hear and see from the source.? His words, his music, and his ideas are out there and available to you. Or hey, maybe you did hear/see all of that in his works. “Heal the world”, may have been a code for molesters. So did you hear it for yourself?
sooo Noel, you knew Michael Ted any better then the rest of us????
be kind or be quiet….
Haters are haters. They hate everybody.
You are the one who needs your head examined to comment like that. Looks like you’re missing a couple brain screws in your head. MJ was a loved entertainer of all time, if you don’t like him keep your stupid comments to yourself.
Go, Google go!!!
Thanks a million!!!
Happy Birthday to the King of MUSIC!! He is well loved by many so all the negative things that you haters say don’t matter. Rest in Peace MJ, people can’t hurt you anymore!
Happy Birthday Michael….I miss you so much….It’s bitter sweet…I’m happy that the world is celebrating your Birthday. I just wish you could be here to see it…,but some of us are here just a little time to Bless The World With their Love and Blessings..May God Bless the Jackson Family……..One of my favorite songs by Michael is “Will You Be There”….Yes Michael You Will Always Be There In Our Hearts!!!!!!!!!!
MJ will never be forgotten !!
Thank you Google.
Jesus was perfect and came to save us yet he was crucified. The servant is not better than the master. Any Christian will also be persecuted. We are not perfect. God commands us (Christians) to be humble and Michael Jackson was, (he was never violent even when announcing his innocence via video, no anger, just soft spoken and deliberate). Can anyone remember a harsh word that he spoke? With all of his fame and fortune he was humble where others with money and fame are egotistical, demanding, and whorish and the like, but they are affectionately called divas and playboys. Their behavior is accepted and not seen as strange. No one made Michael Jackson visit our troops and kids in hospitals. No one forced him to give, give, give and he did not have to, yet he did humbly. We never heard about it cause he did not speak about it. Humble. I respect that Michael Jackson mastered a characteristic demanded by God but seen as strange to man on earth. It takes great courage to go against the world. The road to Heaven is uncomfortable and filled with trials and tribulations. It is much easier and better accepted to raise hell instead. R.I.P. Michael Jackson and enjoy your rest because your struggles here on Earth has ran its course and you fought a good fight. Nothing on earth done or said can affect you now. God is the only judge, but for any that disagree cast the first stone. It’s great my search engine decided to honor his birthday.
Yes, THANK YOU Google for remembering Michael Jackson’s birthday. Both Teddy Kennedy and Michael Jackson were icons in different realms of life – Teddy more specifically in the US but Michael Jackson worldwide. Both of them were magnificent and remarkable human beings. But Jackson being the more internationally known figure (and Google being a worldwide service), it probably made more sense to commemorate him. That is no slight to Teddy Kennedy, it’s just logistics.
THANKS again Google.
I also agree with what 2amazon says: Michael Jackson was a humble and generous man – how many orphanages did he visit every time he was on tour? He never talked about all humanitarian efforts he’d made. One of them, he insisted that it be turned around in 24 hours (new beds, new sheets, more staff) or he would REFUSE to go on stage. He paid for medical care and life-saving treatments for many children – stood by them when no one else would (Ryan White). He used his fame and fortune for GOOD. He GAVE and gave and gave of his talent, time, money – to the poor, sick, and disadvantaged – especially children – so much so that he made he Guinness book. HOW MANY can say that? And he was CRUCIFIED over his appearance, about his health problems, accused of rediculous stuff he’d NEVER do because the known extortionists who accused him of such wanted his money, etc.
I’ve thought many times myself that – yep. If Jesus Christ came back here TODAY, he’d be crucified the same way – probably by the same/similar people.
We claim to be a moral society – but when someone comes along that actually LIVES true morals – we destroy them. And that’s what was done to M.J. R.I.P. Michael. He was an angel on Earth and now is an angel in Heaven. He did all he could do here so God brought him home.
http://www.thesilencedtruth.com – go there to learn who Michael REALLY was (sans all the tabloid junkie trash)
GOOGLE is the truth!! The fact they recognized and remembered Michael Jackson, IS SUPREME LOVE!! :-)
We Love You MICHAEL JACKSON…We’ll Always Love You! We’ll see you again :-)
PEACE!
Bart you are beautiful as MJJ will always be to those of us that love her. I read today that MJJ was the most emailed article and most searched on Goggle, Bing, Yahoo, etc; Teddie and /or Edward 2nd & 4th, and President Obama was in the top 10 as well.
All these great men have been a force in our lives in a positive manner; and I think it is great that Goggle has honored MJJ in this manner. I love it, so much – this is great!
Correction: First line – …….love him.
Neol says, why you have so much hatred? Ted and MJ, RIP. Google THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am so glad people around the world is celebrating Michael Jackson today on his birthday! his music and dance will LIVE forEVER!!!!!

REST IN PEACE
Thank you Google!
Beautiful! Gracias, Google!
mj do you thing i miss you
Loved Google for this. The greatest entertainer of all time deserves this and much more. Great move Google. RIP MJ.
Dear Google, I want to thank you for putting that logo up there. I actually started to cry because i was so happy from seeing it. I think many people forget just what Michael did. The writer mentioned mother Theresa, but Michael was the most charitable celebrity and still is the most charitable celebrity even after death. He went on tours and did commercials just to raise money solely for the unfortunate children of the world. Things like that are forgotten about Michael. The beautiful things this man did like unite the world together as one and even if for an instance had the whole world realize we are all the same. From black, white, green, purple, blue, orange, diseased, gay, straight, and anything else, he made us believe in a different cause. No other person has done such. Not Mother Theresa, the Pope, Not even OBAMA. When Michael Jackson died the world cried. The world mourned. And the World lost. We didnt just lose the greatest entertainer that will ever grace this earth, But we lost the greatest human being to that showed us what true unconditional love really is. To be beat down and torn apart by the world so badly and to still say I forgive you and kept giving his heart when someone was in need. That there was true unconditional love for the world and every organism on it! So GOOGLE, I applaud and thank you for your OO icon yesterday. And please dont regret it, in fact I beg of you to do it again, next year and forever on out!
Sincerely,
A Michael Understander!
Okay Lisa Odom, you just made me cry, “again”.
What a wonderful tribute to a wonder human being and the greatest entertainer that ever lived !
Great idea Google! Love It!
Thanks google for honoring our beloved Michael. This planet knows and loves angel michael more than anyone else.
That’s wonderful GOOGLE!! I loveeeee it. listen people , Ted Kennedy was a senator and he’s very good senator, but Ted Kennedy was not born ON AUGUST 29m so chill out. Don’t be Jealous!! this is part of fun about Michael Jackson, and we adored him and we admired his magnificent talents and his creativity in music industry, Michael Jackson to me , he’s more than “GOLD” , Michael Jackson is GOOD FOR BUSINESS, HE”S A PERFECTIONIST BUSINESSMAN, HE”S an INFINITE IDEAS in music industry and it’s very sad that THEY KILLED HIM, and his music legacy will live on INFINITELY to generations to generations, to generations. So all of you people around the world, WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT MICHAEL JACKSON”S LEGACY!! THE KING OF POP WILL LIVE HIS MUSIC FOREVER!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Come on haters, Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson, Senator Ted Kennedy is Ted Kennedy, they bought have different category, Ted Kennedy is a politician while Michael Jackson is a singer, Ted Kennedy represent the UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN politics, while Michael Jackson represents around the world, as singer, song writers, artistic, innovative, dancers etc. So don’t be JEALOUS, besides Ted Kennedy was not born on August 29 , he was born February 22, . if Kennedy was a dancer, singer, songwriter, choreographer, producer and at the same time a politician then there’s a conflict of interest in politics , unless the constitutions in UNITED STATE OF AMERICA change the laws in politics, so widen up your knowledge,, your perspective , and stop being so Jealous and hater person. Why don’t you JOIN the fun of MICHAEL JACKSON, come on give us a nice and constructive comments to both individual TED Kennedy and Michael Jackson, I bet Ted Kennedy had admired Michael Jackson, Ted Kennedy is a PISCES man and Michael Jackson was a VIRGO so they get along to each other, I know for sure that there are too many politicians who admired Michael Jackson’s magnificent talent but they just don’t want to say it in public because they might get scrutinized for wrong reasons, so stop hating each other and BEAT IT!!
Thank you Google. Everyone was talking about this.
Happy Birthday Michael!
Thank You so much google for this. Our family’s homepage is google from the house to the apartment and we were so happy seeing the celebration of google for MJ’s birthday!!! My family was going to watch some concert vids of Michael but my sister noticed the logo when she was to check her emails so we had a lot of fun that day.
Thanks again!!!
PG and Noel do your homework. The truth, the facts are out there about Michael. He is innocent.
Thank you Ted Kennedy for all your hard work for our country.
i love you micheal happy birthday :D
Thanks google–pretty sweet. I watched a lot of tv yesterday–tons of shows honoring Michael. We should be celebrating his new concerts and a new chapter in his life.
Google is my homepage. Thank you Google for celebrating Michaels day.
Thank you Google for the creative, thoughful and fitting tribute….. WE LOVE IT!
To : 2 amazon, Bard and Lisa Odam. Thank you for your heartfelt and sincere remarks.
Happy Birthday Michael!!! You are dearly missed…..Your fans around the world will not forget you…..
Gone but will never be forgetten!! You will always be alive…… in our hearts – your songs, your music, your dance, the charitable goodness you do and still doing by setting aside 20% of your estate to benefit the charities. Hundreds and thousands of children around the world benefited from what you do, and the hundreds of millions you have donated all this years. That to me is the most beautiful act that I see on top of your amazing and out of this world performance. You only have to listen to MJ’s song to hear what a beautiful person he is and how much he wants to make the world a better place!
Tell me, who in this world’s birthday will be celebrated around the world by people of different race, colour, religious believe, age, etc even though he/she is no longer with us. Believe me, Michael Jackson breaks a lot of barrier. In China where I have now been living for the past 6 years – I found out he has lots of fans despite not having to perform in China at all. The TV channels here were having programs and showing tributes to that man!! What else does one needs to proof how significant this man is.
Michael , you now have 2 new fans!!! Both my young kids especially my 6 years old daughter insist on watching your MV every night before sleeping, LOL. She told me her favourite is Billie Jean, Man in the Mirror, Earth Song, Smooth Criminal, You are not Alone and Heal the World…..
A fan living in China
michael you are most love, we will never ever forget u./ i cried a lot. of your passing..i hope this is just a dream.. i love u forever. the best entertainer in the world.. happy birthday its a celebration .. google thank you for a wonderful job your great.
I MISSED IT!!!! i didnt get to see the Google logo HUHUHU
but anyway, thumbs up for Google!!!!!
WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!!!!!!
My birthday wish for Michael Jackson that all people who were behind his death will be brought to JUSTICE and be prosecuted and must pay for the price – I want Justice for his death and we are going to see on television a massive lawsuits – Good Lawyers versus BAD Lawyers, Bad company versus Good Company– Good Doctors versus Bad Doctors, GOOD witnesses versus Bad witnesses — GOOD Friends versus Bad friends– GOOD MEDIA versus BAD Media, GOOD PUBLICIST versus Bad Publicist—GOOD JOURNALIST versus BAD JOURNALIST—- I Am sick and tired of the Media how they coverage Michael Jackson’s news- What a massive conspiracy theory- GOOD COLLABORATION FROM THE MEDIA, By the way I love the LOGO For MICHAEL JACKSON- very unique and it’s classy. Thank you for being so creative and keep up the good work
I love you MJ from the core of my heart
Thank you so much Google for your tribute to Michael-a significant philanthropist and the best entertainer of all time who has touched millions of life through his humanitarian efforts, his songs’ messages for a better world and his mesmerizing performances.
Michael, Happy Birthday to YOU, our hero!
Again, thank you Google for your nice tribute to him.
