Amazon.com oddness

[misterx]

Why, if you go to Amazon and enter Amazon.com in the search field (early morning error, don't ask), does it offer this as the first result?

Maybe the massage is done with large, Amazonian women. No?

[misterx.livejournal.com]

oooh, one could hope.

So the couple pictured are available with free super saver shipping?

[misterx.livejournal.com]

Yes. And you can save 50% if you buy them used.

I've typed urls into Google before. Too many times. And search terms in the URL bar. I usually figure it out. Sometimes, but not always, before I hit enter. I know, Google isn't Amazon, but the mechanism (absentmindendly typing the wrong thing in a field) is the same, and I don't have an Amazon story.

If it were Google, the phrase "I'm Feeling Lucky" might be applicable. Since it is the first result, and, well, hey; sexual massage.

Seems like it ought to point to a new coffee maker. :-)

Maybe they have an unusually high opinion of themselves. ;)

In this case the mistake was typing amazon.com into the Firefox search box, which was already set to Amazon. After getting the weird result I put Chrome in pr0n mode and went straight to Amazon to try the search. Same result.

That's even more forgiveable. I always have that box set to Google. It saves me having to pull up the Google web page just to make a search. So when/if it gets set to something else, I'm in for some confusion. But, then, waking up will do that too.

Yeah, I verified it at Amazon's site. With results that will not surprise you at all.

Wow. Same results for me. How odd.

[aysosytreeo.livejournal.com]

Cool! I will take two then!!

[aysosytreeo.livejournal.com]

I got the same result when I typed amazon.com in the search.
