Disgruntled Amazon Employees...

Steve7654 thought this was worth mentioning said Fri, Dec 8th 2017 at 7:34pm ET

I noticed last night that on several of Amazon’s daily deals the images of the products were replaced with porn pictures. It’s been almost 24 hours now and they are still up and cycling with the deal listings. It’s hard to believe no one at Amazon bothers to check these things…

- @therealjrn I think most people are naked under their clothes. It’s just a layer thing.

Steve, young man, let’s be honest now. Those porn pics even looked familiar to you, right?

Because your shitty resource mutilating Chrome browser fucked up the jpeg image caching.

I scrolled through daily deals in the app until my thumb got tired. Didn’t see any porn, but did buy some solar lights. Thanks, I guess.

- @djslack I’m afraid that this entire thread is a trick from Amazon to get meh shoppers to their site.
  The chance to see free porn is always an attraction.

- @daveinwarsh it was just thumbnail still shots on a few listings; Cooking thermometers and first aid kits were 2 I know of. Nothing to get excited about really, I just thought was funny.
  
  Still, it might be a marketing strategy; it DID get me to click on them…

- @therealjrn Not quite. There’s more cammaderie and they’re not against the company. And more family …
  
  I would say it’s more along Dilbert comic strips.

- @narfcake OK, I’ve watched the first 3 episodes and now I’m hooked. ha. You’re right, it is hard to pigeon hole into a specific “genre”
  
  The Office (2005-2013) is a very loose comparison I suppose. While I did like that show, it got very repetitive.
  
  You think mehbe ABC was trying out this 2009 show as a competitor?
  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After visiting Musician’s Friend today, this ad showed up in an article I was reading (sans sticker). When I clicked through it took me to the Black Emmanuelle soundtrack, but the product listing had “image coming soon”.

This was actually the second time I got the ad to come around as it went away after I clicked it the first time.

Edit: I just learned that Black Emmanuelle is a porn film.

- @therealjrn of course! I googled it to see if I could get a better shot of the cover. For research purposes…
  
  The film does predate me by just a little bit.

- Found that better image. For anyone interested there’s one copy left on vinyl on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Black-Emanuelle-Vinyl-Nico-Fidenco/dp/B00MHILOHQ
  
  It’s less than at Musician’s Friend, too.
  
  If they make it a daily deal this thread can come full circle.
