Amazon Fail
Amazon has stripped sales rankings for hundreds of books with anything to do with homosexuality. It's so bad that the top result of a search of the word "homosexuality" now points to "A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality".
A customer service representative, Ashlyn D, writes, "In consideration of our entire customer base, we exclude "adult" material from appearing in some searches and best seller lists. Since these lists are generated using sales ranks, adult materials must also be excluded from that feature."
Predictably, explicit material that is not gay in nature is unaffected.
WTF, Amazon?
Update: Solved?
