I think what people are forgetting is that no matter what happened, Amazon's fall back of "it is a glitch" is the best PR move they can make.
Whether they got hacked (one theory), there was a miscommunication (as described in one article) between programmers and policy, or it was a bad program.
Also, all these people need to STFU because it wasn't just "this" subject or "that" subject. Amazon has said over 52,000 books were effected by this. A bunch of people are under the impression that it was only gay/lesbian and erotic. It was much more than that. And, frankly, Amazon, like many search engines, may need to make a safe search soon enough.
