Amazon's Rationale on Pedophilia

Let’s see now. If I wrote a serious book on how to murder your wife, on how to construct and plant pipe bombs, on how to hijack commercial aircraft, on how to assassinate President Obama, on how to burglarize for fun and profit, would Amazon.com market it?

Sure thing, that is until thousands of outraged citizens objected and suggested their website be boycotted just as the Christmas shopping season was beginning and its profit margin would be severely compromised.

Initially refusing to pull the book from its listings, they offered this lame rationale: “Amazon does not support or promote hatred or criminal acts, however, we do support the right of every individual to make their own purchasing decisions.”
