Kickstarter mea culpa on the sexual assault guide -- but the jerk
apparently keeps his money
"We were wrong"
http://j.mp/10DTv9y (Kickstarter Blog)
"On Wednesday morning Kickstarter was sent a blog post quoting
disturbing material found on Reddit. The offensive material was part
of a draft for a "seduction guide" that someone was using Kickstarter
to publish. The posts offended a lot of people - us included - and
many asked us to cancel the creator's project. We didn't. We were
wrong."

Why can't Amazon block it? Normally there's a two week gap between
funding and payout in most cases, and Amazon is handling the money.
