What Kinda Douche Do Ya Gotta Be....

A place to rant about intelligence-fails in our modern world.

Amazon.com hates the gays, apparently

What kinda douche do you gotta be to pull the sales rank numbers from hundreds of gay and lesbian books?  This basically means the books whose rank numbers have been stripped won’t show up in some search results and lists.

This is the response one author got to his query:

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.

Hence, if you have further questions, kindly write back to us.

Most of these books aren’t very “adult,” unless by “adult” you mean “not picture books for children.”  And “gay.” (via Jezebel)
