GOOGLING TERRORISM AND THE SLAVISH FILIAL PIETY OF YURI KOCHIYAMA


A recent Google "doodle" featured an obscure Japanese woman called Yuri Kochiyama, who – the image implied – was in some way connected to the overused abstract noun "EQUALITY."

This was deliciously ironic, as I then used that same company, Google, which has an almost monopolistic dominance of internet searches, to link to Wikipedia, a crowd-sourced entity that has a similarly dominant position with regard to online reference, to find out more. So much for "equality"!
