So folks have noted that actual works of classic literature have gotten deranked by amazon, allegedly due to their adult content. Hence Lady Chatterley's Lover, the whole of de Sade, and Brokeback Mountain to name a few.

The hypocrisy of this is rank, no pun intended, but to highlight just how untrue that argument is, here is a list of books full of lit porn that have not been deranked as yet:

1.) Tropic of Cancer
Delta of Venus crossed the line tho

2.) Does God Love Michael's Two Daddies?
Heather Has Two Mommies is too risque though. Probably because Jesus isn't in it.

3.) Naked Lunch (Guess it doesn't count if your rep is tough enough, Amazon must not think that Burroughs was REALLY talking about getting high off of black jissom)

4.) Henry and June

5.) The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amazing Sex (!) currently ranked #944 as a matter of fact. Maybe this is really just a payoff to the Complete Idiot's Guide people to bump up their rankings for the search "SEX" as this is the first title to come up.

6.) Playboy: the Complete Centerfolds

7.) The Mammoth Book of Dirty, Sick, X-Rated and Politically Incorrect Jokes: The Ultimate Collection of X-Rated Gags (really? REALLY?!)

8.) Young People Fucking (NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE!)

9.) Lolita
Clearly, lolita was a child, so her having sex isn't adult material at all.

10.) Ulysses
Clearly the Amazon editors never finished it either. This one is probably my favorite.

So there you have it. If you find more hypocrisy, add them in the comments.

UPDATE 1 More to add:

The Lover has not been deranked. One hopes this is because Amazon recognizes that Duras is a master craftsman whose sensuous writing on a young girls sexual coming of age with an older man transcends the erotic. One cynically observes it's probably because they're illiterate boobs who haven't read the book.

The DVD of Baise Moi. Never mind that the title is "fuck me" and it features and extended scene of simulated anal rape with full penetration in the first twenty minutes. That's healthy hetero boinking!

Ed Champion will love this: The Kindly Ones currently ranked at 14,203! Incest and gay sex are fine if you're a gross nazi!

Michel Foucault's History of Sexuality

UPDATE 2 Still More:

Apparently badly written sex scenes by right wing goons are fine:

Scooter Libby's book, bestiality and all, is still ranked. As is Bill O'Reilly's pre-factor "thriller." If you haven't had the pleasure, be sure to read Al Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them" for a hilarious breakdown of the latter.
