Amazon's "Your Gold Box".... bwa?
-
So I'm updating my Amazon wish list and I see this "gold box" icon in the top-right of the page. I figure it's some marketing crap, and it turns out to be even more useless. Not only is it marketing crap, it's random marketing crap. Basically, they show you 10 "special price" deals that are only good for one hour (so you can buy any of the deals within the 60 minutes after seeing it), and you can buy any one item of the 10. Now, if they showed me stuff I'd actually want, like DVDs, fine. But of the 10, 7 were freakin' kids toys. X| WT I say WTF? --Mike-- "I'd rather you just give me a fish today, because even if you teach me how to fish, I won't do it.

That stuffs been there a while, not sure how random it is though; quite a few times I've gone through my list to see some items are sold out. Who buys that shit? :P
