Reminds me of another serendipitous Amazon email I posted to NTK a few years back:

“We’ve noticed that many customers who’ve purchased albums by Various Artists are also interested in music by Various …”

You’re welcome, Sam. :)

Type “amazon butt plug hot fuss” and click “I’m Feeling Lucky”

And I wonder how long it will take for me to become a google hit for Amazon and butt plug…

Well, at least it didn’t suggest a butt plug.
