Amazon touts anti-Israeli views,

sheila19621 · 07-20-2006, 04:47 PM

I am a spambot, and my IP address is now banned, along with any others similar to it.

NoMyths · 07-20-2006, 04:51 PM

"Fascinating."

As a first and last post goes, I suppose it's mildly craptastic.

path12 · 07-20-2006, 04:51 PM

Over/under on the ban?

ice4277 · 07-20-2006, 04:51 PM

How bout those tigers? FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!

but apparently there are 2 cock fighting magazines listed for sale on Amazon....TWO!!

ISiddiqui · 07-20-2006, 04:56 PM

Btw, I just Googled the book "Samson Blinded" and it advocates using WMD against Palestianians and Arabs. I can somewhat see why some may consider that to be "unacceptable content".. especially since Google and Amazon and kind of hamstrung by European hate crime laws.

DanGarion · 07-20-2006, 04:57 PM

And who the fuck are you to tell us this?

WVUFAN · 07-20-2006, 05:02 PM

I'm pretty pro-Israeli, but this is stupid. Can someone ban her already?

SirFozzie · 07-20-2006, 05:07 PM

We have some lovely parting gifts for you including Turtle Wax, Rice a Roni, and a Trout in your Rectum!

RendeR · 07-20-2006, 05:11 PM

Amazing! Someone somewhere thinks isreal needs to yank its head out of its ass?

MY GOD...no pun intended.

Is it so unbelievable that some people in the world think Isreal is at fault for most of the unrest in the middle east?

GASP!

If you dislike Amazon, stay the hell of their website.

I think everyone over there is wrong and they all have the intellect of 3 yr olds in handling the problem. The world would be better off without a "middle east".

lighthousekeeper · 07-20-2006, 05:18 PM

I guess the front-line of WWIII will be fought by unmanned spambots in the vBulletins of the internets.

I am impressed though from a technical perspective in how people can develop spambots like these. It's definitely beyond my technical skills.

Um.. Rend.. dude, you do know that's a spam bot and not a real person, right?

rexallllsc · 07-20-2006, 05:26 PM

To many, if you don't agree with or blindly support Israel, you are an anti-semite. Hell, I've been called that on this board!

duckman · 07-20-2006, 05:28 PM

I would like to thank this bot for creating the next great verbal spat of 2006.

Actually, I hadn't a clue, just read it and got rather miffed.

Blah, how lame.

I feel cheated of a decent rant....

SackAttack · 07-20-2006, 05:40 PM

The spambot reminded me to check Amazon's pricing on Warner Bros' Tough Guys Collection, which has five movies with James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart in it that I need.

They've got it for significantly less than I could get it elsewhere, including via discount at work.

So, uh, thanks for that reminder, spammy.

I recommend WW for that. It's taken me practically from a n00b to someone with 4000 posts.

Who are you again?

KWhit · 07-20-2006, 06:14 PM

Noob.

Barkeep49 · 07-20-2006, 06:21 PM

Well this thread got me curious and I have approximately 1700 non-WW related posts. So I guess I wouldn't be a n00b even without WW. Though if you took poker related posts out of there too I'd be in bad shape I'd imagine.
