Thoughts on the Amazon book in the news?

I am probably in the minority, but I think this is all stupid. These people up in arms over this book (available on Kindle only, I think) are giving the book more publicity than it would have ever gotten. It could have sat quietly on the book list, but instead, curious idiots, who are not child molesters are going to buy this book.

Amazon possibly shot itself in the foot for allowing this to be sold. I am sure that there are some people who really will boycott (and not just say they will, but then don't). How that will measure against new shoppers who only learned of Amazon through these news reports, I don't know.

Red your right before the publicity, not many people would have known of its existence, now I am sure every pedophile that read the article or heard it on the news is searching for a copy. They should have just hushed it up and took the book off the market, end of story.

I agree with the previous posters - all the media attention on this book is giving it more publicity than it ever dreamed. Now personally, I don't understand what everyone is having a fit about - it's a free country with freedom of speech, the author should be able to write what he wants and have it published, and if someone doesn't agree with it, just don't read it. Sounds simple enough to me!

I think the author is a sick piece of shit and Amazon made a mistake to sell his "code of conduct" for "pedosexuals". That being said, according to one of the comments after the article, it took Amazon less than 24 hours to remove the book. Am I going to boycot Amazon for their mistake? No.
