AmazonFail - now THAT'S interesting...
In a way, this is disconnected from the current Amazon failure - then again, it's not. Out of curiosity, I went to amazon.com, amazon.co.uk and amazon.de to see what I get when searching for "homosexuality", resp. "homosexualität".
Below the cut, you'll find two screencaps each for the three Amazons: one of the suggested search terms, and one of the five first listed books. Also compare the ratings those books got from the Amazon users.
AMAZON US
Woo! Now there's a wide, completely unbiased range of choice...
All you need to de-gayify yourself!
AMAZON UK
Also here, healing the gay is a frontrunner - being gay, it's a bit like having the plague...
AMAZON GERMANY: I like you, neighbours...
Translation of the suggested terms: homosexuality in the time of national socialism (means: under the nazis), understanding homosexuality, homosexuality and spiritual guidance, homosexuality literature, homosexuality novel, homosexuality from a Catholic pov, homosexuality and Islam, homosexuality and society, homosexuality young adult, homosexuality and literature.
Listed books: "Self-therapy of homosexuality", "The book for homosexuals, their loved ones and their opponents", "History of Homosexuality", "Alike and different: A global history of Homosexuality", "Understanding Homosexuality"
No matter what's going to happen with AmazonFail - THIS fails so hard it could be the work of our government. I rest my case; boo, hiss and shame on you, Amazon.
Edit: as a friendly anonymouse pointed out, "For the Bible tells me so" is not of the gay-bashing variety.
