Satya's blog - Irrelevant images in news columns

Mar 27 2008 10:08 Irrelevant images in news columns

I'm not sure how long this BBC web page containing an article about Indian Finance Minister P Chidambaram's comments on biofuels will be around (do they publish permanently to the web? who knows), but I'm linking to it anyway. I ask, what does the second picture, the one with a bullock cart full of people, have to do with the article? Other than the usual "oh look at the poor backwards country with its huge population on carts" angle, of course. Should I start including irrelevant images with my blog posts?

I'm with Satya
Many Indians are leet coders. Bullock cart technology helps.
