Journal: Microsoft, What's Wrong with a Swastika?

"In 2004, Microsoft released a "critical update" to remove two swastikas and a Star of David from the font Bookshelf Symbol 7. The font had been bundled with Microsoft Office 2003"[WikiPedia].

Everywhere I go, I see little ribbons on everyones cars. In time, these harmless symbols may be turned into a more meaningful representation of the time. Maybe good or bad.

Consider the swastika. If you read this Wikipedia article, you'll realize the symbol has a much broader meaning than Nazi world order.

Will Microsoft have to remove the ribbon symbol from it's Office Sweet next?

I posted more about my feeling on the issue on my blog: http://blog.justinpfister.com/2005/07/is-swastika-itself-bad-symbol.cfm
