I wasn't going to comment on this Amazon thing that's going on, because I don't order much from Amazon.com (I order from Amazon.ca, which seems to not be suffering the same symptoms as its US counterpart), but then tsaiko posted a link to what seems to be a really good theory on why this whole mess took place, and I wanted to post it myself to give people on my friends list a chance to take a gander at it (if they haven't already).

So, here.

Thank you for the link. I've spent more time than I honestly should following some Norwegian bloggers (and one newspaper priding itself for its hip online profile) being indignated over this. LJ isn't normally my go-to place for sanity and rational arguments, but the comparison to Strikethrough makes unnervingly much sense here.

I don't have any plans of stopping to use Amazon, either.
