I don't get why Amazon didn't just create some kind of opt-in safe search feature like Google has on their search function. If you don't want your kids looking at erotica or maybe you're just not into m/m books, you could just click a little box and voila! No naughty books in your search results.
But to wipe out entire publisher listings from the front page search is mighty ridiculous. Kensington Aphrodisia authors, like, don't exist if you search for them on the front page. You have to find a non-erotic romance title by that author and then hope and pray the book you really want comes up in the "other books written by this author" link things. Same goes for classics like Lady Chatterley's Lover or Well of Loneliness! Because, you know, we need to protect customers from the classics!
And what's with removing the ranks and search functions for YA novels featuring gay or lesbian protagonists but no sex anywhere in the text? But, hey, I can search for Playboy and see the Wet & Wild DVD collection! Apparently, YA novels showing gay/lesbian teens in a positive light equals dirty, bad adult content but a DVD collection of busty women hosed down with baby oil is totally all right. So is Alan Moore's Lost Girls...
