Google

You know how Google sometimes modifies its logo on their home page to incorporate a graphic related to an anniversary of a historic event? I wonder why this week they chose to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street rather than the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Surely it wouldn't have been too difficult to come up with a cartoon of a crumbling graffiti-festooned wall, or, better yet, a disintegrating hammer and sickle.

In Hong Kong, they showed the Google logo with the Sesame Street Count standing over it, but only on the Chinese version of the page. When I switched to the "English" version, the logo went back to the regular old logo. I thought that was weird.
