I don't know what the fuck is going on in their heads. First they hid all the stuff on google so that you got a clean and fast searching experience and now the fucktards do this.

It's crap, epecially since you have to become registered to change it. Shouldn't standard be the white background and this fancy shit a thing for registered users?

Use http://www.google.com/ncr and you won't get the automatic localisation.

You could of course just block the bg images too |http://www.google.nl/images/background/* but it looks pretty weird without, the text is formatted with the background picture in mind. Very Happy
