Progressive Google cooperates with Libertarian Telegraph.UK to Honor Founder of Fairy Tale Genre

The Google Doodle today is about a Frenchman who apparently preceeded Hans Christian Andersen and the Grimm Brothers in the Fairy Tale genre.

"Charles Perrault [(1628-1703)], author of Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella was born 388 years ago, and has been commemorated with a Google Doodle." - Rhiannon Williams, "Who was Charles Perrault? Why the fairy tales you know may not be as they seem"

Google's Doodle today is not linking to their own servers, or WikiMedia Foundation, but directly to the reactionary, patriarchal (though distinctly not "homophobic") servers of Telegraph.Co.UK.

Here is the Doodle.

Here is its image link. http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03547/Charles-Perrault--_3547086b.jpg
