First we had Growing Through Divorce on the Wedding Registry, and now we have this.
It's good to know that Amazon want to be sure that you can order Joint Custody With a Jerk: Raising a Child With an Uncooperative Ex, and have it delivered in time for Father's Day.
This is the problem with Carpet Bombing Campaigns. The collateral damage may be acceptable, but it still happens, and it may lose you a few customers.
It makes we want to take a holiday from Amazon and visit my local independent bookshop and ask them for advice on appropriate gifts for Father's Day. I've still got a few month left until I become a father, but I hope to be given a Banksy Screen Print for a Father's Day present rather than an Amazon ordered afterthought.
To be fair, it does seem that Amazon may be making an attempt to target these offers, as I couldn't get the Father's Day offer to appear on the page for a book called Deadbeat Dads.
Hey it's a radical bookshop, you wouldn't expect anti-capitalists to be too hot on the ins and out of e-commerce would you?

Gotta say, Bansky sucks at e-commerce. There's no price on individual items. When I click "Order Online" I then read, "HTTP 404 - File not found."
