Doing my part for the Amazon google bomb...

Amazon Rank

FYI, for people who haven't seen this all over everywhere by now, Amazon has delisted the sales rankings for books it deems "adult"--targeting GLBT books of every stripe, including YA novels, children's books, self-help books, literary fiction, as well as romance and erotica. This removes these books from lists of bestsellers and also from certain searches. It, in effect, hides them.

There's more information on [livejournal.com profile] meta_writer.

Personally, I won't be buying anything from Amazon until this ridiculous policy is rescinded.

ETA: GOOGLE BOMB SUCCESS!

ETA2: I now see the point of Twitter.

Hee! Hey, at least there's some little bit of a bright spot. Your budget is safe!

Hopefully, I now won't spend as much leading up to my concert date so I can buy the Cobra Thriller hoodie and some Clan merch. ... I mean, so I can save up! Yeah!
