Guys, my day has fucking JUST BEEN MADE.

[teaberryblue]

In response to pikacharma the other day, I posted a review of "A Parent's Guide To Preventing Homosexuality" on Amazon.

It was a joke review in protest of the rank-stripping. I did not expect it to get posted.

IT HAS SO BEEN POSTED.

And 23/23 people found it helpful!

ETA: if it gets to 53/53 it will appear on the first page of "most helpful" reviews.

Win!

Eeep, if we get it to 53/53 it will appear on the first page of "most helpful" reviews.

I think the "best" 5 Star Review includes this gem:

"Not content to demonize their [gay activists and their supporters] opponents, such activists seek to silence them as well, and to prevent YOU the reader from being exposed to any other point of view other than their own. So much for free speech and "letting all voices be heard"!"

Uhm, LOL?

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Oh, homophobes. I hope they stay classy.

[thaliontholwen.livejournal.com]

The count is up to 35 now, counting mine :D

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[dootsie.livejournal.com]

Yaknow, "Buy it today and your kids will be gay" has some serious jingle potential.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

I'm a poet and I know it!

[fannyanns.livejournal.com]

yepper. sounds like dribble straight from THE DAILY PROPHET.

(shout Hogwarts!) I can't remember which house you are... AR!

[oseri]

Thank you for the informative review!

(and your present really did go off today; I'd asked dad to post it before, and only just found out he didn't! :( am rubbish x infinity, but the gift hopefully makes up for it!)

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Thank you for your exciting present! I am totally stoked!

[phloxyloxy.livejournal.com]

Okay, where's my "I voted!" sticker?

[gabbygrl.livejournal.com]

I voted... and I told my girlfriend to vote. Do I get two?

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, your "I voted" sticker has been stripped of its ranking.

[gabbygrl.livejournal.com]

I think my favorite thing is that someone evidently sought revenge by voting that your review was not helpful to them. That made me laugh.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

It is okay! It is a grossly inaccurate review.

Actually, it is probably more accurate than the bookjacket claims.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

It is too gay to appear in search results.

[liret.livejournal.com]

Man, I tried for months to get helpfull votes and I think my total on all reviews was like 16. With a less then 60 percent helpfull ranking because someone had a grudge againt me.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

WHAT? Someone seriously deliberately voted against all your reviews?

[liret.livejournal.com]

Amazon reviewer ranks are serious business! I was only in it for all the free stuff you can get if you make the top lists, but apparently you do not make the big leagues by telling people their stories suck.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Even if they do suck?

[liret.livejournal.com]

Sadly, actual suckitude counts for nothing in the world of amazon.

[evilprodigy.livejournal.com]

This review was VERY helpful to me as a conscientious consumer and a concerned, upright citizen. I voted.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

[crissykitty.livejournal.com]

I voted! Have you looked @ the customer images? Hilarious!

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Customer images? I don't know where those are!

[crissykitty.livejournal.com]

On the book's main page...there is a link to them on the left hand side - under the picture of the book cover.

[fannyanns.livejournal.com]

yeah I noticed that too.

this is a question, not a snarky comment. an actual question: does the swastika symbol of nazi germany stand for all hate groups/crimes now?

it used to be a symbol of the goddess (xref Marija Gimbutas).

ar.

[crissykitty.livejournal.com]

Yep. Pretty much.

[sunnyrea.livejournal.com]

You are full of win!

[kalliona.livejournal.com]

I, too, found your review enormously helpful!

[dragonmagelet.livejournal.com]

WIN

[fannyanns.livejournal.com]

I just signed up for an amazon account so I could give your review the "thumbs up!"

I had to stop after a while, tho. amazon.com=shudder.

argh.

thanks for this!

(I think I was 44 or 42 or something.)

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

OMG I love you.

[fannyanns.livejournal.com]

OMG I love you too! yay for TEEEEEAAAA!!!!

(ummm... can I have your hair in my next life? I'm totally ready to be a curly-haired somewhat redhead...)

[fannyanns.livejournal.com]

(oh. my user name for fail.com/amazon.com is "snarkybiotch."

for the giggles!)

[sea0tter12.livejournal.com]

Count another vote! :)

[lifechild.livejournal.com]

Voted it helpful, dudette :) Hehe, good review! Seems weird that that book was apparently published in 2002, judging from the title i'd've thought it was something from way before that...

[selfunderstared.livejournal.com]

I found your review very helpful and it's now at 46 of 48.

[pikacharma.livejournal.com]

ALMOST TO 53!!!

I'm passing this around the office. WE ALL FIND IT VERY HELPFUL.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

DUDE IT IS ON THE FIRST PAGE NOW. <3 Love your office for me.
