Amazon.fail and Gays

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=homosexuality&x=0&y=0

 

A basic search gives this. GayGamer has done constant reporting on this issue.

 

 

 

I love you Christianity.

Theism is why we can't have nice things.

wow.Imagine a parent who has

wow.

Imagine a parent who has just had a child tell them they are gay. They go onto Amazon to buy a book on the subject...

Or a teenager trying to examine the feelings they are having...


Are those searches based on 'most popular' books sold?

Well, I sawa the story

Well, I saw the story over the weekend on google news. Apparently, the whole sales ranking system tanked out for books on human sexuality in general. That being said, as the story has developed, what might have actually happened has been through enough revisions that we probably are not going to get to the bottom of the matter without a congressional investigation.

 

As weird as it is, I hope that we don't end up wasting government resources like that.

I'm just amazed that Amazon

I'm just amazed that Amazon hasn't listed the perenniel best-sellers at all!

 

For example where's "Gay? Stop Playing With Yourself And It Will Go Away! Believe Me! I Know!" by the Rev. Christian W. Anker

 

or

 

"Homosexuals. Why God Hates You." by the Russian Orthodox sexuality expert Glans Lopitov

 

or

 

"Homosexual Lusts: The Christian Cold Turkey Method of Self-Improvement." by A. King Balls

 

or

 

"What Do I Do With my Gay Child?: 300 New Recipes." by Vatican-approved chef Monsignor Faggin D. Nial

 

or

 

"Homosexuals: Why God Really Really Really Hates You." by Burnak Weir-Daly

 

or

 

"The Da Vinci Code: How a Poofter Infiltrated the Cistine Chapel Security Network Through The Pope's Back Passage." by Theo Leikett-Upham

 

or

 

"Homosexuals: Why You All Really Really Really REALLY Get On God's Tit - I Mean Seriously!" by Anglican bishop Lim Pristed-Bender

 

or

 

"Just Because Jesus Was A Brown-Nosed Arse Bandit Doen't Mean It's Right." by Frank Lee, Ima Rimmer (Lubricant Doctors of Theology at K.Y. University)

 

or

 

"Fuck, I Really Hope I'm Not Gay (Touch Wood)" by Joseph Alois Ratzinger.

 

 

Aren't any Americans buying these ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

I personally found this a good read, very entertaining. Good use of words, top marks

Check out the "customer

Check out the "customer images" on the page for "A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality". It is on the upper left side of the page just below the image of the book. The images are: a picture of the book's cover, a Nazi flag, some KKK members and another picture of KKK members. Hilarious. Either the customers who like this book really are depraved bigots, or someone is playing a joke on the book by posting those images underneath it.

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."
British General Charles Napier while in India

Hahahaha, if you actually click on the link "see all 12 customer images," your question will be answered definitively.

Here's one.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
