I have a feeling Amazon can control search result placements.
I expect they will eventually remove it, but it’s still number two.
Yes, I think they can control placements and they will remove it soon, but until then my “purchase” for 0.00$ stands and my review too.
Always a pleasure to ridicule nazis.
You can place a purchase for zero dollars? I know Amazon is a bit shit, but I would have thought basic front-end/back-end validation, even ignoring the card processing, would have caught that.
I have worked in online commerce in two different industries, and the only way we could over-ride the costs was a very manual, very temporary, very monitored process. Eg, say, a sale. But part of my job was to check these things.
There is nothing to override there: the kindle version of the book is free, it costs 0.00$. You download it, you don’t have to read it (I did not, for the record) and you can give a review as a validated or certified purchase or whatever they call it.
Perhaps, then, Amazon sales people have simply set the cost of this work at face-value.
A lot of amazon’s book titles for kindle are free. Many classics, often sloppily scanned and badly OCR’d, many new AI slop hack jobs and a lot in between.
And then, there is this new and towering classic of the genre.
Which genre, you ask?
All of them. All the genres.
Apparently the film has greatly outperformed expectations with a $7-8 million opening weekend expected. The demographics are interesting with 72% female 72% over age 55 and 75%white. Not surprised at the demographics. Interested to see how well it does on streaming.
Typical review. Boffo! Incredible!
Uh, huh. 
That just tells me there was a dedicated attempt to get people out to the theaters to see the movie and prop it up, which is supported by the lopsided positive audience rating.
I expect that to drop off immensely after the opening.
Sounds about right. Oh, and it’s not a cult.
The Epstein Files Look™ with all the saucy bits blackened out is very fitting for the occassion. Well done, ladies!
Hah, I love the smell of sarcasm late into the night. Well done, @Pardel-Lux !
Thanks! I don’t remember where I stole it from, but it has stuck in my mind.
Better well stolen than badly created originally. 
It’s from a review of Melania by Sophie Gilbert from The Atlantic:
Melania shows off her custom-made inauguration gown, stark white with black ribbons overlaying it, a dress that now looks unavoidably like the redacted Epstein files.
What a world we live in. Jeez.
You know that line in reality where it stops becoming possible to parody something? Well, that line disappeared over the horizon several light years ago. This shit is so messed up.
