Some say it’s a glitch. GLBT themes weren’t meant to be removed. Someone meant to pull “gay sex” stuff and went too far.
But if you go on Amazon and search “homosexuality,” it seems the ANTI-gay stuff is still there. Search “gay” and the first result you’ll get (at least, that I got when I did it a minute ago) is a DVD of a movie called The Pool (nearly explicit image here).
WTF?
This entry is really just so I can GoogleBomb again–I really can’t add anything to the eloquent anger already being expressed. One has to wonder, though, exactly where Amazon’s PR people are today. One would think at least one of the employees of a Seattle-based internet firm would know to keep an eye on Twitter. Or the email. Or the Customer Service phonelines. Yet there’s been no response to the issue. My email to cancel my order received a polite “Sorry for the inconvenience” answer with no mention of my clearly-stated reasons for the cancellation.
(If you want to know what it is to GoogleBomb, go to Google and search “Amazon Rank.”)
