Recently Google experimented with adding background images, triggering the biggest wave of pointless rage since the last time anything online changed even a tiny bit.
Graphed: the number of people companies could fire without affecting productivity
Forums were flooded with enough entitled whining to keep FirstWorldProblemologists busy for the next decade (they're hoping to find a cure for Whinybitchitis, a debilitating disease affecting one hundred percent of all "I hate the new new Facebook!" group members.)
Google took down the backgrounds inside a day, but left the option to upload your own in the lower-left corner -- enabling you to pull a perfect prank. Because no matter how they complain, no one can resist new Google products.
This'll excite most nerds more than a real-life Seven of Nine. In a cheerleading outfit. On top of them.
Just upload the "Turbo Google" image as a background and you've created the cruelest mirage since Mad Max thought he saw a BP rig in the desert. Simply select the image below that corresponds with your friend's monitor, and leave it logged in*.
That Turbo Search button will be clicked harder than the Hulk's mouse.
Download the Turbo Google background (1024 pixels wide)
Download the Turbo Google background (1280 pixels wide)
Download the Turbo Google background (1600 pixels wide)
Download the Turbo Google background (1680 pixels wide)

I was fine with one of the backgrounds at home, but the one I picked at work was slower than . I immediately took it down.
Note: I didn't have to Google how to take it down, either. I just clicked the link.

I bet you Jenni Maier sets everyone's background to tinfoil or post-it notes.

I bet Ravos sets everyone's backgrounds to pictures of T-Rex legs.

We've resized this prank to several other sizes -- please let us know if they work on your monitors.
And fix them if not, so we can take an early weekend.

The 1200-pixel wide version is the best one, because it features Abe Vigoda.

The shadows under the "l" and the "e" bother me, damnit. And I agree, the one with Abe rocks!

Sorry, the 1280 (not 1200) version has been fixed.
