apparently it's fuck with the gays week... now Amazon.com has started.

Amazon's new policy:In consideration of our entire customer base, we exclude "adult" material from appearing in some searches and best seller lists. Since these lists are generated using sales ranks, adult materials must also be excluded from that feature

I sent amazon.com an email telling them how disappointed I was in this new policy and letting them know that I wouldn't be making any purchases from them until it was changed. I've been a customer of theirs since 1998...

This might actually not be true, apparently a hacker is claiming credit for the problem: http://www.pcworld.com/article/163024/hacker_claims_credit_for_amazons_gaythemed_book_glitch.html

I got this email from amazon.com in response to my complaint:
"Hello,

Thanks for contacting us. We recently discovered a glitch in our systems and it's being fixed.

Thanks again for contacting us. We hope to see you again soon."
