... amazon.com fiasco ...

[razorjak]

So who actually buys the "It was a rogue programming error." excuse?

For those of you who didn't hear what they tried to pull ... Recently, Amazon.com started to throw anything regarding homosexuality into the porn category and pull their sales ranking.

When they got called out on it, they claimed it was a "glitch".

Yeah, not buying it. Nor anything from them for quite awhile.

weev claims that he is the programmer/troll responsible, and that it was his way of pointing out a severe weakness in Amazon's rating system. This claim could easily be bullshit, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.

I've read a few posts from other people that his story is full of holes (like his code wouldn't work and they can't find the exploit of which he speaks).
