BINGO!

I think most likely you got it right.

And now that they are getting nervous about the bad publicity, and more, Amazon is blaming it on a technical glitch, and will "fix" it. Just like they did with "gay" books searches.

BTW, whatever happened to the the Amazon "rankings," which were not reflective of the real rankings, but omitted certain objectionable to Amazon items?
