Dear Amazon.com Customer,
We’ve noticed that customers who have purchased Ten Smart Things Gay Men Can Do to Improve Their Lives by Joe Kort also purchased books by Seth Tobocman. For this reason, you might like to know that Seth Tobocman’s You Don’t Have to Fuck People Over to Survive will be released in paperback soon. You can pre-order your copy at a savings of 32% by following the link below.
Dear Amazon.com,
Might you try being a little more selective on the titles of stuff that you recommend to me?
Thank you for writing to us at Amazon.com with your concern.
I am very sorry that you were upset to see these items recommended on our web site.
Please allow me to explain that the lists of titles recommended on various pages of our web site are generated by the software that powers our site, and not by individual editors.
However, we understand that certain titles may be inappropriate for recommendation, and we are currently working to refine the process so that such inappropriate pairings do not occur.
I have also forwarded your message to the appropriate people in our company. We always value this kind of feedback, as it helps us continue to improve our store and provide better service to our customers.
Whoa! That’s a pretty damn cool title, I don’t care who you are! I have always respected those that have a certain shock value in their work. I respect their honesty and the clear sense of being blatant about an issue. I guess it’s because of people like Tipper Gore that wanted to tear down PBS or whatever and put wholesome, family television on that I have come to respect those that speak their mind regardless of language.
I cannot believe you said something to them after all those things you say about people that call you with stupid questions!! LOL.
Eh, I get paid to deal with people’s stupid questions.
I’m quite sure that Amazon didn’t have a clue that they were recommending a book w/ FUCK in the title, so I thought I’d let them know.
