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.
