I am absolutely appalled at the information I got today about a e-book that can be downloaded to Kindle owners through amazon. For the bargain price of $4.79 you can get The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure. The author's description says "This is my attempt to make pedophile situations safer for those juveniles that find themselves involved in them, by establishing certian rules for these adults to follow. I hope 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 sentences should they ever be caught." [Note: this is a copy and paste directly from the amazon site, so the poor grammar and spelling belong entirely to the warped author.]
There is no excuse or reason that can convince me that both the publisher and amazon aren't acting very irresponsibly in publishing and distributing this filth. Will we next allow publication of a manual for terrorists to make them more cuddly and encouraging lighter sentences when they murder hundreds of people?
A lot of people are already writing messages to amazon intending a boycott until this publication is removed from circulation.
I see it like the White Power & other hate groups on Facebook...a way for idiots and awful people to self-identify so the rest of us know who they are. Anyone stupid enough to buy this book off of amazon is likely to find himself a person of interest in several investigations, to boot.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's a possibility that I hadn't considered -- that amazon is actually helping track this type of person. While I wouldn't join in the boycott of amazon for choosing to make the book available, I still can't agree with their decision to legitimize this topic.
