For sale on Amazon!?!

Just seen somebody tweeting about this.

The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure

'This is my attempt to make pedophile situations safer for those juveniles that find themselves involved in them, by establishing certian rules for these adults to follow. I hope to achieve this by appealing to the better nature of pedosexuals, with hope that their doing so will result in less hatred and perhaps liter sentences should they ever be caught.'



Why are Amazon selling this? Why did anybody publish it? Unfuckingbelivable!

[earwicga]

The sub-title is 'A Child Lover's Code of Conduct'.

Child sexual abuse has nothing to do with love!

WTF??!!! Amazon need to pull this immediately! What were they thinking?!!

[earwicga]

Amazon are thinking of ££ msrisotto.

I've just deleted my pre-orders stating that it is because they are selling this book. Can't find out how to delete my account - anybody know?

OMG

How to close your account on Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_rel_topic?ie=UTF8&nodeId=200257120&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

I've emailed Amazon to tell them that I will be closing my account. Can't believe they're selling this.

[earwicga]

I have too, and stated clearly that it is because they are selling a guide for paedophiles.

[GENNnrflk]

Thank you for link. I've found details on twitter about this book. It's absolutely appaling.

Amazon refuses to remove ?paedophile guide? from store

[TerrysNo2]

They are crazy. I have e-mailed a complaint and threat to cancel my account.

I am genuinely lost for words and if you knew me that would be a shocker!

[earwicga]

Amazon have responded:

?Amazon believes it is censorship not to sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable,? the spokesman said. ?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.?

It's worth reading what Andrew Madden says here www.thejournal.ie/amazon-refuses-to-remove-paedophile-guide-from-store-2010-11/

[msrisotto]

But it's illegal, doesn't that make a difference?

[MarenmjMakesBigPies]

I've posted my thoughts on an AIBU thread here

In short, I think he's a troll and I think he's scraping for controversy (given his other titles) and attention which it looks like everyone is finally giving him.

[OnlyWantsOne]

it doesn't appear to be available now - well, I cant see it

[gorionine]

My arms ar falling!

I do not know if I am, or probably all really!

[MarenmjMakesBigPies]

Interesting. You're right, RealityBomb.

TBH, I had not actually clicked on it until now. I didn't want to give him the hits.

Maybe now amazon will actually vet kindle content, though I doubt it. There's bucketloads of shit. Sure, the stuff put out by legit punlishing houses is alright, but the hardline evangelical Christian rapture novels masquerading as decent suspense thrillers is Not On. I live down the street from headquarters... maybe they need a tester :)

[Byblyofyle]

Was the story a spoof?

[earwicga]

Looks like it's gone from US and UK sites. Excellent. Wonder if it will come back when the fuss dies down?

[TerrysNo2]

I got an e-mail this morning saying they had removed it.

" Hello,

This book is no longer available for sale."

At least they've done the right thing in the end.

[earwicga]

That's short and to the point TerrysNo2!

I've not had a response yet.
