I noticed that the deadline for Doodle 4 Google, the drawing contest where schoolchildren redesign Google’s logo, was today. I’m far too old to compete in the contest, but it got me thinking of doodles I might have drawn if I could.
Then I came home from work and this happened:

Yeah, I’m going to hell. But with all the news lately of Google moving Google.cn to Hong Kong and withdrawing from China’s censorship rules, it was inevitable. If something along these lines hasn’t already been put together, by someone who sucks less at Photoshop than me, I would be very surprised…
Edit: Hm, there’s this graphic from a Wired article about Google’s withdrawal that’s sort of similar. More colorful, less simple.

Excellent !! Tank Man is one of my favorite images. Funny, how I never saw a parallel !!
Great work, Karen! I’m a writer for Change.org and I’m wondering if you’d mind me using this image for a post I’m working on about Google, China, and human rights for the Human Rights blog at Change.org. Of course, I’d give you credit and link back to your site.
Thanks! :) Go for it! It and basically everything else on here is Creative Commons licensed (CC-BY), I just haven’t added the CC badge saying so to the new site design yet.
