Peculiar Meta-keywords in Website

On 23 June 2008, the Mainichi Daily News(MDN) website apparently removed some meta-keywords. It was "japanese girls" and "hentai". This is often seen in the pornography site.

Mainichi confirmed fabrication was included in at least one article. Therefore, it is necessary to note it for the reference to the article. "Nikkei" is a famous financial press in Japan.("Nihon Keizai Shimbun") The reason why MDN adopted this keyword is uncertain. This keyword has the possibility of the trademark violation.

Famous quotes containing the word peculiar:

    The French manner of hunting is gentlemanlike; ours is only for bumpkins and bodies. The poor beasts here are pursued and run down by much greater beasts than themselves; and the true British fox-hunter is most undoubtedly a species appropriated and peculiar to this country, which no other part of the globe produces.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
