G is for Gay, Glitch and Good Grief

So Amazon says it was a computer glitch that caused the scarlet strike of gay books.

Last night after the twitter attack and gay blogs running mad with this story, Amazon released this statement:

“We recently discovered a glitch to our Amazon sales rank feature that is in the process of being fixed. We’re working to correct the problem as quickly as possible.”

A glitch? A glitch that specific? Y'all better try again on that one. Something's not quite right over at Amazon.
