Interesting…ao many journalists are coming out to fend Lego in support of the company’s saying no to sponsoring Ai-WeiWei’s project. I presume they all grew up with the toy and are deeply engaged with it emotionally. What is surprising is that, amongst them, I found an article from the Guardian…,…sharing such an “innocent” stand.  So these might pens are suddenly so forgiving, including Lego’s long time partnership with Shell by they considering that as apolitical. By the way, Ai did not ask for sponsorship or support…a truly apolitical company should be blind to who is ordering what…. and doing what.
