Amazon.com has something for every type of customer - even pedophiles.
The online retail giant is facing a huge public backlash for selling the digital book "The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover's Code of Conduct" on its Kindle electronic reader.
Retailing at $4.79, the disgusting, how-to book written by a degenerate named Phillip R. Greaves promotes itself as a guide that appeals "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."Public reaction has been swift and angry, with hundreds of infuriated customers flooding the book's review section and calling for a boycott of Amazon.
"I will never buy another item from Amazon. You have crossed a line that is unconscionable. Goodbye, Amazon.com," wrote one customer using the screen name 'Child Protector.'
Despite the increasing negative reaction, Amazon claims it has no immediate plans to remove the book from its online inventory.
"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," the Seattle-based company said in a statement released to TechCrunch and other blogs.
