NSFW++: Amazon's “The Hobbit” (27k+ reviews) listing taken over male sex toy

Please don't make this my most upvoted submission.

I posted this entirely to shine a spotlight on the quality control systems which are in place which allows this abuse to occur in the first place.

Honestly, if I had to guess how this occurred, I would suspect someone within Amazon with administrator rights merged an ASIN with another ASIN to create this page. Maybe someone with more understanding of the innards of AMZ can explain how this happens...

Well, sorry about that, this submission has sex toys. This will be your #1 submission. You still have three wishes.

Market is ripe for a filtered list of Amazon products as a service. Just show me the good stuff selected by real people.

Unfortunately with comingling of inventory in Amazon warehouses you'd still end up with counterfeits.

The book is much better, it never needs to be recharged

But it's neither fully sealed nor waterproof.

Non-insertable though, important distinction to make here.
