    WorkSharp 3k, Amazon, and nude women

    Um... So I just went to Amazon.com to pick up an abrasive kit for my WorkSharp 3000. I typed in "worksharp", clicked "Search", and then started scrolling down. To my surprise, after item #10 or so, I started seeing books with titles like "My Nude", "Babydoll", and "Super Beauties: Nude and Natural" -- all with pretty artistic yet revealing cover art.

    Not that I'm really complaining or anything (not at work, no kids around, etc), but .... what gives?

    I cant imagine that they're inserting recommendations based on search or browsing history, either -- I didn't even know that Amazon carried this kind of stuff.

      Maybe somebody is having fun with the keywords and tagging?

          Okay, fess up. How many of you checked??? Yes I did, and either someone is having fun as suggested by crokett, or Amazon has been hacked! Although their order/payment servers are not the same as the main search servers, I don't think I'd order anything for a couple of days.

                  Yep, that's the spelling and I saw the same results come up when I checked (of course I checked!). Not that I generally search for such things....

                  I do remember a couple years ago when frequent mention of the BT3Central thong lead to banner adds of "related" apparel. Now I found those book covers more pleasant but I wouldn't want those popping up on sites I frequent (a few of which do have Amazon adds...) making them NSFW...

                      you know,
                      I had a simialer thing happen to me some time ago. I was going to paint a house and while I was trying to decide what type of paint would adhere best I went to google and searched out
                      "latex bondage"... the results were shocking

                              Ah, think I've got to order some tools.

                              They all look very service-able for my needs. I liked the Edge-Vision Wheel the best I think...

                                      With a subject line like that, I just had to see what it was all about.
