I am reading this story about 6 hours after it was posted here.

Immediately after reading I went to amazon.com and search "male to male e" at which point I was provided several autocompletes:

- male to male extension cord 3 prong - male to male extension cord adapter - male to male extension cord 10 ft - male to male extension cord black

and so on. BUT when I actually completed the search ("male to male extension cord 3 prong", the first autocomplete for me), I did not get any actual "suicide cords" in the results.

Thus I am forced to conclude that Amazon reacted in real time to this story. Curious if people in other areas are seeing the same thing?
