Amazon for the FAIL
So, here's some backstory.
First, Fox News (of the 'Fair and Balanced' world) aired a report discussing the Xbox 360 game Mass Effect. You can read about that here. Needless to say, it was a horribly unbalanced, mostly factually inaccurate event.
So much so, that EA mailed Fox News and politely asked them to correct the story.
Of course, the author who caused all the ruckus has never written a book about games, hasn't played the game and probably never will. So, of course, gamers reacted with their normal aplomb and reviewed her books on amazon.
But, what's this I see? No reviews on her books anymore. Apparently, Amazon has yanked all the reviews.
How lovely of you, Amazon. Bravo, good job.
Edited to add: Amazon has since republished the reviews, sans any that broke AUP.

There are still reviews on the "Over Achiever" book, but yes, I agree.
Actually, they restored the comments, sans some AUP violations, so... they managed to restore their reputation to at least pre-jerkwad levels.
