If you've been on a social network platform over the last 24 hours, you can't have missed Amazon.com's 'decision' to strip all books deemed to be of an 'adult' (seemingly anything with a LGBT slant) nature of their rankings.

Obviously ('verse bless it) t'internet has gone batsh*t.

According to 'Publishers Weekly (the US version of 'The Bookseller' and therefore trustable) Amazon.com are calling this SNAFU a 'Glitch'.

I would usually make a gag about living in The Matrix but now I am more interested in watching how Amazon are going to recover (if at all) from this cock up.

N.B. Amazon.co.uk don't seem to have been affected - yet.

books, oh crap!
