Yeah, that's the power of the internet hate machine for you.
Unfortunately Amazon went and deleted every single review of the book. The tags associated such as "hypocrisy" and "hack" are still there, though.
The extreme hilarity of the situation is this: the book got shamed by a bunch of people who never read it, just like she slandered a game she had never played.

I understand Amazon's position here. This was about to get 4chan dimensions, completely unacceptable violence propositions all over the place, cursing and whatnot; they have to protect their clients in such cases.
Some people might be a little too sinister, for example one guy suggested to order and cancel the book again and again. I'm far too lazy to look up the conditions of use for amazon users, but I suspect they may violate them that way and get banned.
I found this 'raid' funny and definitely not pointless or immature.

Never mind, the reviews are back. This is odd.

Hehe... after all the discussion about FOX being too right-wing, now the response is too left...

Not too left, just too eager to make a point by exagerrating although everybody got it already. You know, like the Romans slicing Jesus up although he's already nailed to a cross dying.
Although here it's Jesus slicing the crossed Romans up. Because Jesus is good. And the Romans are bad. Jesus stands for all the gamers, the Romans for Cooper.
Or wait, a few thousand Jesuses slicing one crossed Roman up.
DAMN MAKROND NOW YOU BROKE IT

Hehehehehehe... no, you broke it by trying to explain it.
It was actually a subtle joke - sinister being Latin for left, dexter is right.
Although I got what you meant the first time.

Kotaku writes that Cooper has realized she didn't know what she was talking about, and that there is no porn whatsoever in ME. Although this entertains me even more, I still hate her guts for being arrogant, harsh and biased.
All that's left is some FOXNews spokesperson to cave in, then this is over and we'll have to pray for another scandal.

It's almost awesome how stupid some people can be. From what I read, she asked one person what the game was like.. And then decided that they were right and went with that.
