Amazon have just removed the Pedophiles Guidebook from their listings.

 

Thoughts?

Weird. If someone published a guide to crystal meth and crack smoking im sure Amazon wouldnt go near it from the start, not wait for a public outcry before pulling it down.

So where can I get one?

Spare a thought for the pedo's, they can hardly walk into waterstones and ask for guide on kiddy fiddling.

[benjii]

Maybe these guys can get hold of it?

Your photo is being passed round neighbourhoods in the States as we speak.

I'm boycotting Amazon, and am encouraging everyone I know to do the same. They never should have sold this filth.

 

Now, if they publicise the names & addresses of anyone who had bought this book, I may consider using them again.

Not going anywhere near that link

I googled it first, then having seen the list decided to erase my browser history, just in case.

actually thats my homepage

[scotty]

I'd be inclined not to buy the thing, on the off-chance that anyone here was considering it. There is a real live on-the-register sex-offender living not far from me, his windows never stay in one piece for long, christ only knows what his insurance premiums cost.

Re the "NAMBLA" link....

 

I actually Googled that because there is an episode of South Park featuring a spoof organisation called NAMBLA. That obviously is satirical and I thought maybe someone had set up a satirical site as an homage (no pun intended). So when I saw "nambla.org" as a result on my Google search, I assumed they had. As it happens it looks - somewhat remarkably - as though in fact a group of people were inspired to set up a serious version of it. Bizarre indeed.

Not quite sure if you are implying it or not in your post, but, NAMBLA has been around for quite a lot longer than the South Park episode.

Oh right. Didn't know that.
