Fucking Amazon. While browsing around I found this story about how if you search for “Panasonic NV-GS55B Digital Camcorder” on Amazon, it seems to think that you will also be interested in “Shaven Nudists by Dieter Nagel“. Then another article surfaced (scroll down to the bottom) about how if you search for “Sennheiser HD202“, you are recommended “A Hand in the Bush: the Fine Art of Vaginal Fisting by Deborah Addington“.
After a bit of messing around, I found that the word Sennheiser threw up all sorts of bizarre recommendations when combined with the ‘Search All Products’ option - Feminine Anarchy: Girls Pissing in Public by Amanda James and Paul Compton anyone?
Unfortunately I foolishly did all this while logged in. As Amazon builds customer profiles and recommendations on your recent browsing history, my “The Page You Made” is now full of such delights as “Sexy Sports: Maximal Crazy Girls by Ralf Vulis“, “Shaven Beauty Mystery by Torsten Seidel” and perhaps rather worryingly “The Ultimate Guide to Strap on Sex: The Complete Resource for Women and Men by Karen Lotney“.
Oh well, just going to have to browse lots of electronic goods pages to counter all this pr0n…

something’s gone a bit awry with your CSS there, your links stick out the side of the "blog stuff" box. I am using Mozilla Firefox on a PC.

aye, there’s something funny in that it doesn’t like wrapping linked text.
