As I'm sure most of you have found out by now, Amazon.com has decided to be a raging bitch. Thanks to my flist, I am in the know - and by that, I mean that I've discovered some of my favorite fantasy authors have had their books targeted.

What's a google bomb?

Basically, making the top search result for Amazon "AmazonFail" instead of their sales website. This all depends on users searching FOR AmazonFail/Amazon Rank. Or something. I'm not that up with the web lingo/innerworkings ;)

I honestly can't understand how Amazon could possibly have not known what sort of epic storm this was going to start up. It seems insane.

I want my books back!

They claim it's a glitch in the system. A glitch that's been slowly going on the past couple of weeks (before everything hit the fan this past weekend)? Wherein certain authors received emails categorizing their books as "Adult"?

I'm not totally buying it...

I love the idea of a glitch that sends out emails, maybe it's a polite glitch?

Minus 100 points for thinking the internet is stupid Amazon!
