No, I Just Wanted the New Harry Potter . . . Really

So, you’re having a conversation with an . . . uninhibited . . . friend, who just happens to mention “buying sex toys online”. And, being curious, you wonder a bit just where would be a good place to do so, seeing as you do almost all your online buying through Amazon. And, being amused, you think it would be funny if you could buy sex toys through Amazon. And, being bored, you hop over to Amazon and run a search for “cock ring”, idly imagining what the response might be, but, stupidly I suppose, not imagining that it would, in fact, be a page full of cock rings and related items that you can mail-order from good ol’ everyday Amazon. Which it is.

So that’s kind of intriguing. Even more intriguing is following the “X% of customers also bought this” links, which quickly take you into Amazonian reaches that I had never imagined existed, but which I heartily approve. And perhaps you think this is kind of cool, and kind of funny.

Until you log back into Amazon sometime later, and discover that your personalized homepage, which is dynamically generated based on your recent searches, now screams at you: “Hello, Kevin T. Keith. We have recommendations for you.” “Get Yourself a Little Something!” “Based on Your Recent Searches, You May Like:” . . . “‘Screaming O’ Wireless Vibrating Cock Ring!” . . . “Dr. Horner’s Two-Pronged Silicone Male Erection Aid!” . . . “Velcro Closure Scrotal Strap!”  With color pictures.

And then you recall you do a lot of your online browsing and ordering in your idle moments at work.  And you wonder how long it’s going to take for this stuff to fall off your page.

    Sex shouldn’t be shameful, but even most “liberals” do want it at least to be a little private.

    “most liberals do want it at least to be a little private.”

    I think it should be “most liberals have little privates.”
