What the hell is going on at Amazon.com? This morning we did a search for "terrorist costume" in the Apparel section. The search returned only 1 result: a Barack Obama mask.

Strikes terror in the hearts of conservatives, moderates, and pretty much anyone who isn't a true liberal...

methodshop, I like this story. It's good stuff. I don't know if this "obviously" implies a "hidden agenda" by somebody at Amazon.com, but it sure is an interesting story. I'm curious; is there a Bin Laden mask, and if so, how does it show up in a search of Amazon.com?

McCain shows up under terrorist mask, but not obama. The URL he gave brought up a McCain mask,
they DO have obama masks but none are listed under terrorism or terrorist or terrorist masks

So I'd say this is a made up story and made up pic

Hello from Amazon.com.
Thank you for contacting us with your concern about the search results for the Barack Obama Halloween mask.
We'd like you to know that the search result for that item was modified by an Amazon.com customer using a "tagging" feature available on our website. The result was not provided by an Amazon employee or an Amazon search algorithm.
The search tag was removed quickly after it was discovered.
We have fixed the problem and apologize for any offense it created.
Thank you for contacting us.
