It's amazing how that happens.

Question is, would they have explained or fixed anything if 16,000-some people hadn't jumped on them? I doubt it.

[lady-alyria.livejournal.com]

I just checked. It's still not fixed. They are "working on it".

They might not have noticed it for awhile, given the apparent nature of the error. And since all 16K people jumped on them without knowing what the fuck was going on, the number is rather irrelevant.

[bifemmefatale.livejournal.com]

Since the volume of complaints caused them to take action, I don't think it's irrelevant.

Not yet, but yes, I do think that they would have fixed eventually if and when they realized it. I don't think Amazon handled this well, but I don't think it was malicious corporate intent. Abject corporate stupidity followed by an utter failure to mitigate the harm, yes.

I can't believe LiveJournal got linked multiple times in a Fox News article.

I kind of love that.

What's that you say, kneejerk overreaction without all the facts < waiting to hear what the fuck is going on? I HAD NO IDEA.

And not nearly as fun. AMAZON HATES THE GAYS! HATES THEM! AND STRONG WOMEN! That's why they are called "Amazon", after the river, not the women. ;)

I still don't know how a French dude mixed them up. The French words for those things are similar.
