Amazon’s 55-gallon drum of sex lube endorsed by Facebook users
WHO wants a 55-gallon drum of sex lube for sale on Amazon for under $1,500 (includes pump!)? Prince Harry? Saudi Arabia?

Other people start reporting that they’re seeing it, too. A fellow roller derby referee. A former employee of a magazine I still write for. My co-worker’s wife. They’re not seeing just once, but regularly. Said one friend: “It has shown up as one on mine every single time I log in.”

Amazon’s Pedo Guide Confuses Paedophiles
IF you are thinking of buying a book for Christmas, there’s always The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: a Child-lover’s Code of Conduct. You can buy it from Amazon for $4.79. Or at least you could before there was a media shit storm and it was removed from sale.

Ed Stafford’s Amazon Walk In Videos, Pictures And Other Online Goods
ED Stafford has walked the length of the Amazon River. No, not swam. Walked. No again. Stafford is not the first person to navigate every page on the Amazon website. That challenge needs time. Stafford walked along a river bank for two and a half years.

Says Amazon, in Amazonian tones, it was an “embarrassing and ham-fisted cataloguing error.”
