I think maybe an hour - if that, behind the times. It looks like they fixed it yesterday around the time when tacit posted this. I google bombed after this definition had already reached the first entry on the first page, and did so knowing that amazon was scrambling to fix their "glitch".
I believe they need to be well and truly punished. Not so much for the programming glitch, but for the massive FAIL on the part of customer service, most of whom never stopped to think that perhaps this was a mistake. I'd like to see this new definition of "amazon rank" as the top hit forever so that they NEVER FORGET.

I'd say I wish I was kidding, but that's not true because it's effin' hilarious.

Go Amazon. Score one for normalcy.

Screw eBay, I know where I'm making my next purchase from.

(Just kickin' over the anthill.)

Speaking of which, I used to know this guy who was so against censorship. What a shame that now he's only against censorship when it comes to censoring people who disagree with him.
