Amazon idiocy

so, it seems that Amazon has lost their collective minds and are discriminating against books about sex, erotica, GLBTQ issues, YA titles and some other things. They are stripping certain books of their ranking, making them impossible to find in a search.

a google bomb has been started. What's a google bomb? It's an effort to create multiple links to a page that has information about the censorship, causing the link to come up higher on google. This enables the spread of information about the censorship. For more infor, click here:
