Mike, these were the first images that came to my mind too. If Amazon ever does reclassify GLTG and sex out of its search results, it wouldn’t be long before the publishers stopped wanting to publish it (nothing personal, purely business).
The fact that it was just a ‘glitch’ and Amazon has apologised is little consolation. The fact that they have this functionality and the intentions it implies, is still as alarming as North Korea firing ICBMs over Japan.

It’s Tuesday. Where is their official policy statement? Even if they started drafting one MONDAY at 9AM, it should be good to go by now.
And #2 is a natural consequence of #1.
