Amazon's Sense of Humor
October 12, 2005
So I run this amazon.com ad at the bottom of the page. It is supposed to be keyword-based, with the keyword being “Red Sox.” So until a few days ago, it always came up with Red Sox books. Then, a few days ago, every few impressions it lists two other books instead—my SVG book and a book on Blogs by Hugh Hewitt.
This is rife with irony, beginning with the fact that I think Hugh Hewitt might be the biggest doofus in the world. But doofus or no doofus, his book outsells mine by about 1000-1. Irony can be cruel indeed.

I can't believe it, my co-worker just bought a car for $81628. Isn't that crazy!
