C'mon, everyone loves google bombing! Why don't you join in?

Here's the link:

Post this link with the text "Amazon Rank" on your livejournal. Like this:

Amazon Rank

Don't know what I'm talking about? Well it seems that Amazon.com recently made the charming decision to "protect" their customers by removing the sales ranking information for "adult" books, which of course affects their ability to show up in searches on Amazon, in some cases making it near impossible to find the book that you're looking for. What do they deem too "adult" for all readers? Well, sex, of course. Yes, they still sell fur coats, tomes on how to train dogs for dog fighting, and somehow, still have a number of Playboy picture collections. But nearly every book with any kind of GLBT content? All but erased.

While you're at it, you should go sign this petition asking Amazon to reverse the policy:
