A corporate sense of humor

If only it had been "Wichita"

Think what you like about Google’s obvious plans to conquer the world, but any company with a sense of a humor cannot be seen as ominous. Or at least it can be seen as far less ominous than some other companies without a sense of humor — Citigroup, say, or Apple. How refreshing to Google “Google” today and arrive at a search page called “Topeka.”

OK, it’s a dumb stunt and it’s just one day, but I salute Google. Throw in the company’s courageous (sort of) stand with the bullies of Beijing, and it’s got me wishing I owned some stock in it. From now I on, I will use Google for all my search needs. Oh, wait; I was doing that anyway …
