what's in a name

In 1992, the French theater director Ariane Mnouchkine dubbed the then-under-construction Disneyland Paris park a "cultural Chernobyl," as an attack on what she and other French intellectuals perceived as an assault by American culture on the French way of life.

This blog doesn't really have anything to do with that. I just like the phrase.
