So I goes to Amazon.com, I does....
...and based on my previous purchases, Amazon.com seems to think I would want to buy Unfit for Command, that smear book against JK. Why, the very idea! I'm no freeper, and Lioness has the pictures to prove it! It was bad enough when they thought I would want to buy Sarah Brigthman CDs, but this is totally appalling! Clearly their "intelligent" database isn't intelligent enough!

Anyone else have similar stories?

1. They do that to me too.
Maybe most people buy books on both sides of an issue. Facts and lies. :)

2. Funny, I noticed it on my suggested list as well...
Last week, but it's not there now. What IS there now is "Passion of the Christ"... I will give it to them that 90% of the suggestions are appropriate of the dozens they listed.

LOL on the Sarah Brightman CDs... I think that would have insulted me even more. :D

3. You have exposed yourself...
...as a Kerry-bashing Sarah Brightman fan. And it only took you 1,000+ posts to do it.

5. "Other customers who bought *******
also bought this. . ."

I love it when they tell me that. Yes! Let's all be individuals. . . just like everybody else.

6. I'll be damned! It's on my recommendations too!!!!
Now, obviously there is nothing in my profile that would make their database believe I'd be interested in this book. So, why are they pushing it on everybody? Just like all whores, they must have a political agenda.

7. Amazon always puts crap like that on my recommendations list, too.
But then thay also put stuf that I've already purchased & read.

Really, though - do you want their 'bot to be TOO intelligent?
