Amazon.com's Recommendations
Today, while browsing the recommended products offered to me by Amazon.com, I noticed that some of the categories of recommendation were a little ... weird. Here they are, in alphabetical order:
- Action & Adventure
- Adult Alternative
- Alt. Industrial
- Alternative Metal (Apparently, A Perfect Circle, Primus, and NIN are all alt. metal)
- Alternative Rock
- Anthologies
- Classics
- Comedies
- Contemporary
- Crocheting
- Drama
- Gay & Lesbian
- Holocaust
- Indie Rock
- Infidelity & Betrayal (WHAT?!?)
- International
- Lesbian Studies
- Literary
- Metal (Apparently this means "anything Les Claypool ever did.")
- Rock Jam Bands
- Romance
- Singer-Songwriters
- United States (Apparently this means "books I haven't yet read by Michael Chabon")
- Women
Yeah, ok, I've purchased a few Indigo Girls Albums, a copy of But I'm a Cheerleader, and a novel by Karin Kallmaker. So all the Lesbian stuff makes sense, but what the hell is the deal with "Infidelity and Betrayal???"
