A new way of making social statements?

[asheris]

Check out these "customer recommendations" for Michael Jackson's "Number Ones".

I wonder if anyone's made some recommendations for books about OJ, or for Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter's books?

:-) complementary products?

Nevertheless, "Michael Jackson tops album chart (http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_841030.html?menu=news.latestheadlines)" {Nov 24th, 2003)

Were you secretly buying Michael Jackson music? It'll turn you into a whacko. Just like Barbara Streisand makes men gay.

Q.

Nah, just one of those goofy things I get off one of my mailing lists from time to time.

My sister was the Michael Jackson fan, once upon a time. I think she's grown out of it, but she sure did end up wierd! ;)

Yeah, I've been thinking for some time of ways to hack Amazon to persuade it to say "People who shopped for books by Ann Coulter also shopped for: Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler, trans. Ralph Mannheim".

You could always do the "in addition to", or "instead of" recommendation. If enough of us recommended the same thing, it would land at the top of the list.

Other appropriate recommendations might be be "The Goebbels Diaries, 1939-1941", Fred Taylor, ed. or "Adolf Hitler-A Chilling Tale of Propaganda", Max Arthur, ed.

Of course, you could always do it the other way around... "Instead of The Goebbels Diaries", read anything by Ann Coulter, Matt Drudge, or Rush Limbaugh."
