"The family has, for instance, been in talks with the internet giant Google to ask whether the double O in the logo could be replaced with Madeleine's distinctive eyes."

I don't know but I wish it would end soon now. Yesterday I saw a tv advert. Why? Pointless waste of money and time imho, and this whole palaver completely blanks all the other abductions and kidnaps, suggesting that these other children (and adults) are worthless in some way.

More than time to move on ...

Sympathy for the parents is running out - they fucked up and they blame society.

My sympathy ran out long ago.

Let's be honest here: what parents - other than the truly delinquent - wouldn't try to do anything to get their child back under such circumstances? And what is happening here is that because this case has caught the attention of the media (because Madeline is Pretty and White and was Abroad and thus presumably Taken by Evil Foreigners) there is a positive feedback spiral whereby the parents are being given the opportunity to try anything. Ye gods, if they did any less the same red-tops would crucify them as 'uncaring'.

Much as I am getting fed up of the two doctors (earning a small fortune and certainly enough to pay for babysitting...), I can understand their motivation (obviously) and Google's - great publicity for caring, sharing Google...
