The customer is always right.
Amazon.com pulled a how-to book for pedophiles from its website after a massive public outcry had thousands of customers calling for the boycott of the online retail giant.
The book in question, "The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover's Code of Conduct," was being sold for Amazon's Kindle electronic reader for $4.79.
Author Phillip R. Greaves promoted his text as a guide that appeals "to the better nature of pedosexuals, with hope that their doing so will result in less hatred and perhaps liter [sic] sentences should they ever be caught.”
Word of the potentially illegal book's availability spread like wildfire, and infuriated customers flooded Amazon's site, threatening to boycott the company.
Literally hours after sending out a press release defending the author's right to free speech, Amazon caved in to the public pressure and removed the digital book from its inventory late Wednesday night.
As of yet, the Seattle-based company hasn't made a statement explaining its sudden change of heart.
Greaves has spoken about the controversy, and clearly has no regrets about writing the book.
"True pedophiles love children and would never hurt them," he told CNN.
Greaves went on to justify his twisted sexual perversions.
"Penetration is out. You can't do that with a child, but kissing and fondling I don't think is that big of a problem."
