Ron Jeremy's autobiography is ranked.
Ellen's autobiography was de-ranked.

which do you think contains more "adult" content?

Honestly, I don't want to see either one of them naked so who gives a crap?

the whole "was this really a glitch" thing is up for debate.

Ellen was naked on some HBO show and she had surprisingly nice "attributes".

Common boys! Get those pitchforks and head for Seattle now!!

using sales rank is a common way of choosing what to buy or look at when you're not shopping for something specific?


Of the thousands I've spent at amazon, I don't ever recall seeing any type of ranking number on an items page. I'm pretty sure if all items had these numbers removed my shopping there wouldn't change.

you've never sorted a list by top selling or most popular?

I do it all the time when searching for something without a specific make/brand in mind... I find it more useful than, say, star rating because I'd trust a 4-star product with a hundred reviews more than a 5-star with one review and I browse the top selling books of different genres on a regular basis when looking for something to read.
 
Well, if the books would stop talking about how great it is to stick stuff in your butt, they wouldn't get an adult rating.

Nominated for OP self pawning of the year, nice to try and flame bait when your dumb ass doesn't even read the stories you linked to.

I said de-lists and I should have written "de-ranks"

My apologies. Nowhere did I state that they wouldn't sell you a book.

You're still a fuckhole, however.

You are just lovely.
 
where are the protests when

"Massive online retailer Amazon.com has dropped its listing for a controversial Japanese video game called Rapelay that involves raping women and forcing them to have abortions. The so-called "rape simulator" game was sold on the web site and included a graphic description of the gameplay.

Although a listing for the product is available through online searches, the link to it on Amazon's web page no longer functions.

Gaming web sites that have reviewed the simulation describe the "tears glistening in the young girl's eyes" as the player attacks her in graphic detail."??

i guess one or two members from ATOT isn't enough... 😉

Only by price. If I want a review I'd look for a site dedicated to that type of product or ask here.

I try so, so hard.

Again, I understand you're not perfect but could you at least try?

If that's your picture in the Jawbreaker website in your profile - I would just go into hiding now. Who wants to look at that?

LOL- that's like 6 years old. I didn't know I still had that out there.

What's that got to do with anything though?
