WTF?!?!?

Amazon pulls ‘Pedophile’s Guide,’ author speaks about book (video)

The man who wrote the controversial book regarding pedophilia that was pulled from sale by amazon.com, is now speaking out.

According to Phillip R. Greaves II, he wrote ‘The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-lover’s Code of Conduct’ because he believes pedophiles have been “unfairly demonized,” reports Bakersfield Now.

“What they don’t realize is that the word ‘pedophile’ itself means someone who loves children,” said Greaves. “You’re not someone who loves children if you’re raping, murdering and killing them.”

Greaves also claims he is not a pedophile and said “I only have sex with adults.”

Prior to the book receiving publicity, Greaves had only sold one copy on Amazon’s Web site after a week and a half. However, once news of the book spread, over 3,000 copies sold, reports CBS News.

After a public outcry resulted in many threatening to boycott Amazon if the book was not pulled, the major online retailer defended the publication saying “amazon.com believes it is censorship not to sell certain titles because their message is objectionable.”

Nonetheless, by Wednesday night, Amazon had removed the book from its site.

There are truly sick SOBs in the world. I cannot understand why someone would write a book like that of can find a company to publish it. Creep factor is very high on this story.
