Where Angels Fear to Tread

Speaking of teabagging… :)

The passage of the bill has clearly turned the crazee up to 12; evidence here and here. The first example is totally bizarre – apparently, HCR is bad because people don’t agree, and so it’s killed Christmas.

Also, I think Amazon may be on to us – this was in the Amazon box, along with 3 items clearly based on the title. Apocalyptically vulgar indeed…

@al2o3cr: Gee-zus. I’m getting “Sharing My Hot Wet Dreams” and “Stroke My Little Lamb” in the Amazon box. Did Fleshbot take them over?

@nojo: Same here. Only $19.95!

@Dodgerblue: @nojo: New meaning to “they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb”?

@all,

yeah, I’m seeing the pron as well.

Amazon sells pron?

Unlike Google, I don’t see a means at Amazon to filter results. Which means I may have the material for a post next week, when folks are paying attention.

@ManchuCandidate: Let’s see, you, Nojo, me. Judging by comments here, we are all straight males. Amazon knows!

@Dodgerblue:
Yeah, but I’d like to think I have better taste in pron ladies or more recent stuff.

@Dodgerblue: That would be Amazon’s response, more or less — those selections are not only contextual by post, but relevant to any shopping you’ve done (if your browser has an Amazon cookie). Apparently we’ve all been very naughty in our online shopping.

@ManchuCandidate: Actually, it looks like third-party merchants that Amazon leases storefront space to sell the pron. I am getting videos by Lorell Dolan featuring ‘my little lamb’ but when you click on the link you find it is sold by an enterprise called Swankyville.

@FlyingChainSaw: Swankyville

The quality goes in before the name goes on.

And to follow up my supposition: Safari is my regular browser, but I also have Mac Firefox and Mac Chrome on hand to double-check website designs — I never use them for regular browsing.

Results: Same set as before: two Lorells, two Angels.

@nojo: Who buys hardcover pron these days? There’s no end of free stuff on the internets.

@Dodgerblue: Besides that, I don’t think we even get a kickback from Amazon Storefront sites. If you buy pron, I want a cut.

So here’s the thing: There’s nothing in the language of this post that should set off Swanktastic Lorell.

Yet when I check a suitably tawdry Stinque After Dark entry featuring noisy sex sessions, Amazon offers me Science Illustrated, Scuba Diving, Garden Design, and American Cowboy. Bezos is fucking with us.

Checking in on my iPhone from LAX and I’m getting the pron ads too – what, no cock for the gheyz and str8 girls?

I am not happy to see the teensy plane I’m going to be on for the next 3 hours. Nor happy to see that children outnumber adults 2 to 1.

@nojo: A friend of mine ran into Nina Hartley in a local upscale supermarket. She’s 50 now, btw. He was looking at her, trying to figure out who she was, when she smiled and said “you’ve seen me before.” And, of course, he had.
