Careful the religious right might take exception to that. (IE. only one creator allowed.)
If you look at it, the Camel is exceptionally well designed for its habitat. ("Well designed" is not something usually associated with committee designs)
It can easily live in environments that would kill a horse. (And most other mammals.)
Quite efficiently expresses it's contempt for humans.(A very sensible attitude for a human from a non-human's perspective.) Well... we did have a horse at one time that matched the camel in that area.
Can spit huge distances, usually at a human.
There's more, but I forgot it. (I'm only human)

That's a statue of some troops not a committee.

That is definitely a Town Centre.

It's a town centre park[^]; I've been there enough times.

I'll give it to you then. Modified accordingly.

Then a picture of Katy Perry, which in fairness I'd rather do than search.

I've always believed it's a stupid name for a search engine. It reminds me of that irritating twerp of an insurance salesman in Groundhog Day. He's the wally that appears when the weatherman, Bill Murray, keeps stepping off the kerb into the icy puddle. An appropriate name then for Microsoft's offering. 
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

You have to understand their market analysis. Bing is catering to potheads from Hawaii needing directions along the CA coast highway to find the illegal growing fields while hitting Starbucks at various points along the way whilst the passengers look up photo-shopped actors and actresses as inspiration for doing the nasty in the back seat.
At least, that's what I gleaned from that strategy link.
And besides, what else would you expect from a search engine called "Bing?"
Now, sadly, the problem is, everyone else will follow suite. Just look at what's happening with google maps.

I dunno why people make fun of the Bing name.
I mean, what the hell is a "Google"?

I couldn't agree more with "keep it the same way for several decades". The best example of a successful "simple" website is http://www.craigslist.org[^]. Its easy to find what you're looking for, and there are not distractions all over the page!

I use Bing so I can get Amazon gift cards.
The weird part about Bing is that on average their search results are as good as Google, sometimes better, but when they are off, they are absurdly off. (Like getting nothing but Chinese results for a search.)
What disturbs me that article is their fascination with Katie Perry.

I'll wait until it's really here and there have been some tweaks. The preview looks to be adaptive and I hope that it will still be productive (more productive?) when I, like you, search for some help on tricky SQL syntax, documentation on using a class or an obscure error message. I use Bing all the time as I believe if gives superior results to Google, so I'm wary of change (if it ain't broke ...)
I do understand why MS is trying ideas as despite (IMHO) the better search results, Google still tops the charts (remember VHS vs Betamax!)
I agree about flashy tricks and unneccessary chrome (although I like Bing's images), especially as I have a crap connection at home.
Fingers crossed!

Only with MS[^]
Won't they have an exception filter to excuse their own breeds, like the poor little "Bing"?
Side note: Outlook UX is cool  beats the g stuff for me. If it supports an in-browser chat to interface with my other G mates, I can move to Outlook.com fulltime
