on the amazon fail thing

Where they de-ranked 'adult' content, and removed various books from the search results - large amounts of gay content, rape, feminism, but oddly, not Playboy. Can't see what they're doing there, can you? Dear author explains why the ranking thing is so important to sales

here's hoping they grovel. And lose a fuckload of custom. Sadly, not mine, because i stopped buying from Amazon a long time ago when play.com started being my baby - easily searchable, lack of 'wtf' 'you bought this, why not buy this' results, and free shipping.

As we noticed, they de-ranked 'adult content'; but sex toys still seem to be ranked with the rest of their merchandise.

Which seems somewhat bizarre.
