#AmazonFail Update
So I'm sure most everyone heard about this right?
Honestly, because I was traveling, I missed most of the hoopla, but I saw Wil Wheaton post a link via Twitter, so I knew the shit was gonna hit the proverbial fan. So I opted to wait for official word. Since everyone was acting like it was brand-spanking-new official Amazon policy without any official announcements from Amazon itself.
Turns out it was a glitch caused by a coding error, and it affected more than just LGBT books.
They're working to fix it.
You know, based on the description, I can see one programmer making that sort of mistake. Its probably a pretty complex site on the backend. Shit happens.
Yeah so we can all take it down a notch now.
