"Peel session"

[j4]

Bad taste it may be, but one of Amazon's 'perfect partner' recommendations just provided me with a great new euphemism.

Bad taste? More like bang on the money (har har), after some of the Peel Serssions I've listened to over the years.

Do you ken John Peel in his coat so gay?

LOL. I knew those little pixies at Amazon were rather warped but that's verging on brilliant. I suspect he'd approve (in a grumpy way), anyway.

That book is claimed to be by "Dick Palmer".

Ho ho.

I once ordered a Netgear router and it said "People who bought [Netgear Router] also are interested in buying: [Blue Terrycloth Bathrobe]."

First thought:

huh?

Second thought:

but wait, I actually need a bathrobe. and blue is my favorite color.

Third thought:

wow, these guys are good.

The one I really liked, when they got this first up and running, was that every time I went there looking for ISBNs and things I would get a "People who bought [ book X ] AND wear clothes were also interested in: cheetah-print slippers." It seemed not to matter what book X was, it was always with the cheetah-print slippers. I can imagine few things I would want less, though come to think of it, my counting in the "people who wear clothes" demographic is under some protest. But then again, I doubt there's all that large a market sector who don't.
