Amazon's Marketing department at work?

[Jeff7]

I know that amusing user reviews at Amazon are well-known...but it seems that someone at Amazon's Web or Marketing department thought this warranted some more attention.

I'm surprised. I would have expected a large company like that to squash reviews like that as quickly as possible, lest it tarnish their beautiful public image.

Hey... it drives traffic to the site. Maybe they'll buy something from that long list of amazon.com "recommended for you" products if they stick around for awhile.

Drives traffic and sales... Amazon Affiliate program is the best damn thing in the world!
