Amazon Selling "How-to" Guide for Pedophiles

apparently amazon has pulled the book from its offerings

...Penned by Philip R. Greaves II, the controversial title promises to "make pedophile situations safer for those juveniles that find themselves involved in them, by establishing certain rules for these adults to follow."

The author's description says he "hopes 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 (sic) sentences should they ever be caught."

glad they pulled it, if for no other reason than for the poor spelling of its author...

but seriously, I think it was a bad decision by Amazon to be selling something like that in the first place


edit: and I think Amazon's statement as quoted in the original post is pretty disingenuous, they make hundreds of decisions each day on what they will offer to sell or not sell - it's called a "business" decision, not a censorship decision. Just because it's published doesn't mean they're required to sell it.


and perhaps they wouldn't have gotten off on the wrong foot had the book been about pediphiles rather than pedophiles....

also, the term "pedosexual" is apparently a "new" word that is an attempt to be "non-biased and value neutral" and "destigmatize" the negative connotation of the term "pedophile"

Probably. Do you really think that the number of people who are going to 'boycot' amazon is greater than the interest/traffic/new sales that the controversy has created? Negative press is still press. The innerwebz are all talking about Amazon.com. I'm sure they're pleased as punch.

For the record, I think the author should have his balls removed.

I don't believe you. You're just trolling.
 
i'm not going to check up on this or even read the thread but the author is likely a non-pedophile troll who just made a few bucks selling controversy and i hope the thread has evolved to encompass this fact and we're now discussing the ramifications and morality of profiting from shock deception instead of getting pointlessly outraged over a stupid fake book
