That's Not 'Love' In the Air, Mister- February 21, 2008 Being under the weather last week, I nearly got away with forgot to mention an embarrassing little adventure I had on Valentine's Day. Some days, I don't even have to leave my office to dork up the joint. Whoopee. There I was on Thursday afternoon, weeping softly at my desk, as is my usual custom. To cheer my mood -- and take my mind off my throbbing sinuses -- I was listening to a few MP3s. Specifically, I had Fatboy Slim's Better Living Through Chemistry queued up, and playing loud.

Seriously, look: So many squares to spare. Now, think about that for a second. Recall the offices in which you've worked, and reminisce over the modus operandi of the typical cleaning staff there.

I'm talking about Amazon -- or more specifically, the 'Recommended for You' bug prank 'feature' on their website. That nasty little bastard can go straight to hell, and I hope as many pitchforks as possible poke it right in the ass on the way. "I thought from my previous experience that the worst thing Amazon could do is ignore me. I was wrong. So very, very wrong." Don't get me wrong. I like Amazon; I shop there all the time. And I appreciate automagical...http://www.wherethehellwasi.com/categories/stupid-computers/i_recommend_you_go_to_hell.htm... |
