"Fishbowl's" Unintended Brand Impact?

I wonder how Amazon.com really feels about the Bill Maher interview with Stephen King that leads off the highlights of " Amazon Fishbowl ." After all, the talk show veers off into very frank discussion of alcohol and drug use, in which both admit to using illegal drugs -- both marijuana and heroin are mentioned -- in the past (of course)

Now, it’s one thing when you’re hearing this type of thing on late night TV, but on the front page of an e-tailer’s Web site? In broad daylight? While at work? It’s kind of a different brand resonance for Amazon than I expected. Will we be seeing more of this type of disconnect as programming becomes increasingly un-hitched from time-of-day (and expected place of consumption)?
