Hello from Amazon.com.

Thank you for contacting us with your concern about the search results for the Barack Obama Halloween mask.

We'd like you to know that the search result for that item was modified by an Amazon.com customer using a "tagging" feature available on our website. The result was not provided by an Amazon employee or an Amazon search algorithm.

The search tag was removed quickly after it was discovered.

We've fixed the problem and apologize for any offense it created.

Thank you for contacting us.

4. Is there a 'bimbo' category we can tag Palin masks under?

How about a 'Shithead' category for ol' McPopeye?

5. Good. Now I wiill shop there. I figured it was something like that. It must be very difficult to

control every aspect of how things are advertised in such a dynamic and gigantic environment.

7. Amazon donates disproportionately to democrats I think - generally pretty progressive

I figured it wasn't an "Amazon" plan

[Blondiegrrl]

12. No. Amazon is primarily a GOP donor. Support Barnes & Noble if you want to support Dems.

Regardless, I'm happy that Amazon issued an explanation and apology about the terrorist tag.

They are pathetic. How long did it take the freeper to assign that tag so many times? :rofl:
