Amazon is running a video commercial on their site for a book called The Death Artist. You can currently see the ad somewhere around the crime book section (I suspect that like other ads, it’s only shown a certain number of times, so it’s tricky to link directly to).
Anyhow, the reason that this is worth noting is because the ad, while somewhat amusing, is actually quite bloody – it would have garnered at least a 15 rating if it was on at the cinema, and it’s safe to say that it wouldn’t get shown on TV at all.
So what are Amazon’s internal rules about delivering such ads? Does it know that I’m an adult visitor who can take it? Just curious.
