There is something obviously LULZy going on here. But I really don't believe that Amazon as a company would instigate this kind of total-internet shitstorm against themselves.
However, the bantown idea... I wouldn't think that the kind of groups that would target the gay community would have the tech-skills to pull this off. *chans might, but they tend to love the gays.
Amazon's big fail has been their response to the problem, not the technical glitch that's effed their search engine.
Mmm....actually this seems right up the chan's alley (omg pun!)
In effect, it sheds some light on what might be a glitch in Amazon's user ratings system that inadvertently relegates gay content to an "adult" category.
So, it's not really antigay...mostly it's just anarchic and lulzy.
