Try reading the last one on p24. The guy seems to have taken it all quite seriously.

(No, I didn't read them all. I skipped pp 2-23)

As a regular user of Amazon, I find the user reviews quite useful. As an example the various user opinions on the BIC pen - http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B000JTOYLS/ref=cm_cr_pr_top_link_1?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0 - have proved very helpful for my purchasing decision.

Quite relevant to ukc too:

"The second time it proved to be of assistance was when i was on holiday in a remote part of Wales, i chanced upon a hidden cave in a cliff. As a generally inquisitive person, i could not resist to explore, however, on entering the cave there was a loud rumbling and the entrance colapsed, leaving no way out. To my furthur dismay, i discovered that i was not the only being present; a large bear was also present which luckily had not noticed me. Using the only tools available to me, i fashioned a crude bow which i used to fire the pen as a missile at the bear. As always, the pen proved a reliable resource and struck it in the eye, rendering it unconcious. I then used the pen as a means of removing the rubble to allow me to reach freedom. "

There is nothing stopping you from writing some reviews on the US Amazon site, you never know, you might start something...  ;)

I've never seen such entertaining reviews on US Amazon site. Most people seem so sincere in their desire to be helpful to future buyers. Either Americans don't have as much of a sense of humor or the Amazon are more diligent in removing the spammy posts. Thanks for the links. I would never have thought to look at Amazon for fun.

This Meme started on the US Amazon site in very early 2006, in response to the (as then it seemed rather absurd to buy such a thing on the Internet) availability of 'Tuscan Milk':
http://www.amazon.com/Tuscan-Whole-Milk-Gallon-128/dp/B00032G1S0/

- you can find hundreds more by looking in "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed"

I just discovered the wolf shirts today and I was going to post it here but I see you already found it. I remember getting a catalog probably 10 or 15 years ago with the same shirt in it. The sales of this shirt have really increased because of the silly reviews.
