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:
Has anyone else tried pouring this stuff over dry cereal? A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

Gymkata: A Carefuly Scripted & Subtle Cold War Commentary
Quote:
However, where "Casablanca" fell far short of documenting the spirit (and fears) of the times on a granular level, Gymkata and its cast is unafraid to take this plunge.

Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable
Quote:
I couldn't believe a cable could make so much difference, so I connected a cable tester to it and saw that it rendered the 0s and 1s perfectly. I'm even getting some 2s and 3s!!!

The Secret saved my life!--Deleted by Amazon, but reinstated.
Quote:
Although I've never been homophobic I was discovering that I was very rape phobic and dismayed by my overall personal street value of roughly $15.

Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt--Currently #1 in Apparel in Amazon, it even induces muscle growth!
Quote:
The shirt is made up of soft cotton. I was grateful to see this as it flexed as my muscles grew after donning this garment.

Buy them today!

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...

I believe the meme had been operating covertly for a bit before CH decided to out it. But still, what does this mean when the mainstream so readily picks up on our stupid little internet in-jokes? D: ONLY ILL CAN COME OF THIS.
