i usually never do these things, but

That is just... as you said, incompetent. Did Amazon just start doing this?

They're blocking "Oranges are not the Only Fruit" and "Giovanni's Room?" Can Huck Finn or JK Rowling be far behind? (Which is to say, once you start banning, where do you stop?)

I wish Amazon would grow up.

IMO, anyone who claims to be removing the ranking from "adult" books and doesn't remove it from Lady Chatterly's Lover fails at censorship and has no respect for tradition. Well, and the fact that they're censoring G-rated childrens' books and academic texts that deal with homosexuality, but not things like collections of Playboy centerfolds or Alan Moore's Lost Girls just makes their real goal painfully obvious (though you could put that last one down to the general conviction by non-comics fans that everything with speech bubbles in it is intended to be read by twelve-year-olds, something that will get my local library into serious trouble with some thirteen-year-old's angry parents some day, as they demand to know why Watchmen or The Authority or basically anything by Frank Miller had a YA sticker on it).
