I hate Amazon’s search. It’s an absolute piece of shit. Every time I go there it irritates me, throwing up a hundred irrelevant suggestions for the product it thinks I’m looking for. And it’s always telling me what other customers bought, recommending other stuff I might like, and trying to get me to buy two things together so I can save a tiny bit of money from their overpriced postage and packing. God knows why it costs them so much to post and pack a CD anyway, they must be hiring supermodels to run the distribution wing.

Being as petty and as bored as ever, I spent a while trying to find the worst and least-suitable recommendations I could. I figured my best hope was to head for the porn, and my sleazy detective work paid off nicely. I found a video called “Amateur Lesbian Sex” and Amazon suggested I’d also like “Bridget Jones’s Diary” and “The Shawshank Redemption”. Now... I’ve seen The Shawshank Redemption a lot, and I really can’t remember any lesbian sex scenes in it. I’m sure that kind of thing would have stuck in my mind, being a little out of place in a film set in a men’s prison and all. Anyway... The amateur vid sounded a bit tame, so I tried one called “Hard Lesbian Sex”. Amazon thought if I’d like that, I’d love “Shrek” and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.

I then found “How To Strip For Your Lover”, and was recommended “Tracey Shaw’s Salsacise”. Then I looked at “The Lovers’ Guide – What Women Want”, and was told to buy “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” along with it. I then went over to the books, and the “featured item” alongside The Communist Manifesto was a workout video with some bint who used to be in Gladiators. It was then I got too bored to carry on.

Now go sign up at The Hollywood Stock Exchange, give the name “Becket” when it asks who referred you, and it’ll give me a load of points. I tried to find a way to work that in more subtly but there’s only so much time I’m prepared to waste.
