Amazon Reviews

August is slow in the yarn business so I have been laughing out loud at some very funny reviews on Amazon. This was all new to me since I thought amazon.com was a pretty serious site of commerce. It turns out that there is some real viral marketing going on there from the grass roots (or who knows where it is from but the big marketing companies might feel threatened). If you haven't seen these, I hope you enjoy the ride. If you have, and have some to add for me to see - bring 'em on.

I will give a quick view of some of the finds that have come across my computer and try to be relatively brief, you can get into much greater detail on your own, waste a day or two following links, and be amazed at the creativity out there. Or, you can get back to work, whatever that may be.

The first is the the "Three Wolf Moon T-shirt" - seems pretty simple and straightforward.


and then you might notice that there are 1363 reviews. of a t-shirt? what is this about? Read on... there are magical powers for sure here. and then you notice little things like 13,670 out of 14,222 found this review helpful. People have a lot of time on their hands.

After you have had the chance to read some of these reviews, jump over to youtube and check out this and you will actually witness the magic.


You may have noticed a reference to "Tuscan whole milk"... which leads you to think there is something else you might want to get from Amazon. Here, again, are some great reviews

My personal fave is the second one by Edgar from Baltimore... could this be E. Allen Poe? Such beautiful writing! Oh - wait, you can hear this read to you here

And lastly on this guided quest, I want to share, from other products you might be interested in the great reviews for "A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates (Paperback)"Such a terrific reference work! But with so many terrific random digits, it's a shame they didn't sort them, to make it easier to find the one you're looking for."

So simple and yet so powerful!

A special thank you goes to my brother John Babson who brought these wonderful finds to my attention - he really does have too much time on his hands!!

If you have more to add to this - please leave a comment and share with others. Consumerism rules!
