Funnily fake Amazon.com reviews Every once in a while, I come across posts/webpages that link to products on Amazon.com with reviews that take a life of their own. Tuscan Whole Milk--I think this was one of the first that really caught on. Quote:

hahahaha, that video is great! |

I think they did a story on CBS Sunday Morning about it. I lol'd heartily. |

Yeah, apparently the collegehumor.com crowd was in no small way responsible for that one. They spotted the (completely real-life) product, liked what they hated about what they saw, and targeted their legion of conformist hipster twentysomethings on it as the go-to Ironic Awesomeness of the moment. ...The rest, as they say, is sunday-morning news. |

P.S> Collegehumor.com does produce a lot of... well, a LOT of content, period, some non-trivial percentage of which is actually extremely funny. So I'm not in any way disparaging the site itself. And obviously I, myself, am part of that audience I'm putting down... Collegehumor.com genuine-funny: We Didn't Start The Flamewar video. |
