Google offends the Germans

Google Earth has been slated for referring to a mountain in Germany as 'Mount Hitler', the wartime name of the mountain that has understandably since been changed.

A very offended local mayor Georg Kellner stated:
"I'm 64 years old now but I haven't heard the name 'Mount Hitler' in all my life. What's with this stupidity?"
Google blamed a "technical accident". As their Gmail interface is so keen on telling me ... Oops!
