Public bug reported: This happens across all of my installations.
When I use a dash, trying to get to the Ubuntu store, I typically type, "Store", and press enter. Amazon however has its own ideas of what I am looking for, and tends to link trashy romance novels with promiscuous cover photos, or sometimes down right pornographic images from what I presume to be a post modern book of some sort. Here is the link to the trashy romance novel: http://www.amazon.com/Candy-Store-Bella-Andre/dp/1453874186%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIQ733ZDLGFIV6PEQ%26tag%3Du1treatyrslf-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1453874186 Now, I know I am not searching for any [pornographic] post modern rubbish [trying to pass itself off as art], or trashy romance novels on my computer, so I know it isn't posting results based on what it has learnt from me. To this extent, I actively try to avoid promiscuous activities, and see it as a vice that is often admittedly difficult to resist. I have no problem in principle with what Ubuntu is trying to accomplish with Amazon, in fact, I think it is commendable. However I draw the line at when it starts trying to peddle its dope to me and by extension, my family. It is especially hanous when it includes pictures of topless women, or skanky mini-skirts being felt up by chiselled men. Please, filter this rubbish out of Ubuntu. 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu 12.10, 64 bit and 32bit 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center 0.5.7-3 Dash 3) What you expected to happen Search for "Store", and Amazon post results that were "safe" for work and family. Perhaps a book on entrepreneurship, or the movie, "Ernest goes to the supermarket". 4) What happened instead Book covers containing Topless women in one case, and a skanky mini-skirt woman being felt up by a shirtless man in another. ** Affects: dash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: porn -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1131880 Title: Dash peddling dope and selling porn To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/1131880/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
