Searching for Subversive Art? Google It

We're familiar with Google's changing logos, recognizing international holidays and the birthdays of notable individuals. But an online "Banksy," if you will, has hacked Google's design to create some parody pages at the company's expense. Argentinian designer Leonardo Solaas runs Google Variations, which offers several twists on the ubiquitous corporation (and verb).

Make your own Google doodles with Paint it Google; search the web "wet" in The Google Pond; or experience a glimpse of an apocalyptic Future in which the company has mysteriously disappeared (or has just been temporarily hacked).

But that'll never happen, of course.
