Google Bombing is Fun!

I've been boycotting Amazon since last year because of their douchiness about The Office DVD set, but now I wish I could reboycott them!

Oh dear @ Amazon...

I can't believe that Lady Chatterly's Lover got deranked! DH Lawrence is literary and respectable now!

Jezebel has a list of books that did and did not get to keep their rankings.

Ellen DeGeneres' biography got stripped, but Playboy: The Complete Centerfolds didn't. The fucked-upness would be almost funny if amazon wasn't such a powerhouse.

Did you see where ex-gay bs is now topping the list for gay searches? This is insane!

I Did! I just twittered that. It's so unbelievably fucked up. I wonder if they thought doing this on Easter would make it less noticeable. I'm sure they'll restore rankings to a bunch of stuff and then issue an apology about the overbreadth of de-rankings, but I won't be shopping there again.
