All right, folks. So #amazonfail (link goes to Twitter feed for the hashtag, kinda like a stream-of-consciousness comm in 140 characters for those who aren't familiar). In superbrief, #amazonfail is basically an Amazon Strikethrough that exploded into Twitter earlier today. (I'm pathetically excited to say I've been part of it and following it ( Read more... )

Saw this story at Jezebel. Absolute bullshit.

Yeah, it really, really is. This needs to get linked and spread out more like whoa.

We are mostly communicative beings searching for like and unlike minded persons compuman2153 September 23 2009, 07:31:07 UTC

Intelligence dictates that we understand those who are and are not like minded. I'm interested in life all forms of life all styles of life. I'm interested in the future and I know the only way to get there is together. Link up with all even if you don't happen to agree or understand them UNDERSTANDING BEATS THE WORLD, things get a whole lot easier once you learn to understand period!

I typed in lesbian and got a bunch or erotica and Heather Has Two Mommies and it was still listed.

I guess I don't understand the fuss.

There's a lot of things which are invisible at this point--obviously that makes it harder, but it's not complete. The point is they're basically blacklisting a lot of stuff because it's "adult," only a lot of it just isn't, and a lot of "adult" stuff that is really adult, like the porn etc., keeps getting listed whereas a lot of LGBTQ and alt stuff has gotten taken off. If you look at the list it's more obvious, since searches only show you what's still there.

Oh my god, this is fucking bullshit. I searched for "homosexuality" and the next several books are all anti-gay: "You Don't Have to Be Gay", "Can Homosexuality Be Healed?"....

What do they get out of this? Seriously? Are they trying to piss us off?

Sorry, I don't mean to explode on you, it just made me really angry. Thanks for posting this - I fear major media outlets may ignore this topic.
