No, it's google.com
They want you to use one of they're shitty background images. So they've taken it upon themselves to put one on there for you. A test drive if you will...

The whole reason Google is so popular is beause its fast, simple and, well, fast... So yeah, lets add a huge fucking picture to the main site, that will make things better...

Odd... it is ugly, and also I noticed that the word GOOGLE is written in white like it's the exact opposite of what it was (word is colorless and the typical white background is full of color.) I figured that has something to do with their shinanigans but I still don't know what it is...
