    ...because they have Christmas in Australia too..? Damn those inclusive bastards and their rotating logo/doodle ideas!
    (Or they were lazy and just re-used the kangaroo from the Summer Games logo - after using so many other animals in previous years for hte Xmas doodle.)

    Not this again. It was the same with the mice last year.

    Christmas isn't the only holiday at this time of year and not every culture celebrates it with the same icons so it's makes sense that it isn't too specific.

    And besides, they're not even Kangaroos. They mutant reindeer from Lapland who were born deformed due to all the pollution pumped out of Santa's toy factory.

    What a sorry excuse for a life they must lead? And there you go ruining their one special day....

    It only looks like a kangaroo from a distance, it is in fact a tamed velociraptor, called Hectór.

    http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/New_Cooler_Edition#Luke
    Christ managed to easily destroy the 200,000-strong Roman Army by himself, using only lightsabers in each palm. Because of this, the day was to be known as Palm Sunday, which became a massive holiday. Christ then rode triumphantly into the city on his velociraptor and was soon elected the new King of the Jews.

    ye woolly jumper withest pockets [/ye olde joke]
