Amazon sponsored links
I'm getting very tired of seeing those bloody links to Drdino.com and other assorted creationist sites when looking at books on the creation-evolution debate. Apparently the links are provided on the basis of keywords (thus presenting a link to a company that sells watches when "The Blind Watchmaker" page is displayed!), so I don't suppose there's much Amazon can do to keep them off the pages for evolution-friendly books with the word "creation" in the title. Aren't there any evolution-friendly companies that might like to be Amazon sponsored links?

And do I need to mention what happens when you click on those sponsored links? Hint, hint. |

No, you don't need to mention it. That's why there's no point complaining to Amazon about anti-evolution links showing up on pages with evolution-friendly books. It's just the same old story like when you google on a keyword about something related to evolution, 90% of the hits are to creationist sites, most of which are saying the same as each other. The average person could be forgiven for thinking that the creationists have defined this debate because unless they look really hard, that's all they see.
