In their latest "doodle" image, Google has portrayed a black man walking on a strip of watermelon. In sync with the Olympic Games, the google image above the search box features an athlete walking down a race track and getting ready to start a race. The track is obviously watermelon, with green rind, red pulp and dark seeds. Upon closer examination, there also appears to be marijuana plants lining the outside of the track every few feet. Although they do not include an actual Olympic logo, it's obvious that the image is timed to correspond to the 2012 Olympic games, currently taking place in London. When you click the 'play' button on the image, the man starts walking down the track and is portayed as thinking of an oddly white-gloved hand typing on a computer keyboard. As the athlete continues down the track he walks leisurely, not runs, knocking over all the hurdles instead of clearing them. After kicking over ten hurdles, and man reaches the end of the track and slumps over in exhaustion. A link is then given to the image, [https://www.google.com/doodles/hurdles-2012] which is titled Hurdles 2012. Screenshots of the images are below.

It is a working game, complete with with score. Try it. I got 2 stars, 16.8 seconds.
it's a game, but its still surely a watermelon. People such as google employees who claim it's absurd to say it resembles a watermelon are as inane as the people who defend the 9/11 fable.
Did the nog eat it? If not, it's not a watermelon. Are watermelons flat? Can they be walked on? If the answers are "no", then it's not a watermelon.

if you cut a slice of watermelon then yes it can be flat. If you are a 1.5 inch tall cartoon charatcer and the ground is made of watermelon under your feet, than you can walk on it. someone should make an olympic athlete with a sombrero running down a soccer field made of a taco. that would be funny too. then all the people can deny that it's a taco.
