… John Lennon rolling over in his grave. I realize that Yoko Ono approved the use of Lennon’s voice and image for a One Laptop Per Child message, but that doesn’t make it right.

This message, however, is just creepy and a bit offensive. (Yes, you’ll have to click on “message” to see it; I can’t bring myself to embed it on this page.)
