amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com reader reviews: C or D?

Even the Korn fans' comments about "cruisin' for Monte Marlo chicks" is amusing and fits in with what I'm trying to say. It's a cultural studies phenomenon, almost.

"Ok, first of all, the backstreet boys are not boys anymore, there all 30 something now, they should have quit a couple years ago, they have totally worn out their welcome and we are tired of them. This is a stupid song. Show you the shape of my heart? Who wrote this? They need to be locked in a box and have bananas thrown at them. The backstreet boys should be locked in there too. I'll show them the shape of my fist. This is a dumb song, it's ridiculus how stupid it is. And did you see the video for this. It speaks for itself. Backstreet Boys, do us all a favor, and retire. Please! Children in Africa are suffering enough."

A ba dee a ba dye.

Anyhow, I actually was roped into writing 'professional' reviews for Amazon briefly to get free CDs. They all sucked, so I stopped.

The Amazon software wouldn't let me use the phrase "Heroin House" on my Wish List, btw...

As for authors posting good reviews, read these two reviews by Emily Toth for two books called "The Curse", one which she co-wrote.

(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0374526923/ref=sim_books/103- 5363462-9076626) (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0252014529/ref=sim_books/103- 5363462-9076626)

Is there one totally lame famous person who you don't think looks like Ramon? Anyhow, no, Justin has the curly blonde hair. And as far as I know no facial hair, unless he grew it like two days ago. I think you're thinking of someone else, one of the ones not dating Britney. Or maybe a Backstreet Boy, they're way better looking. Except I don't think any of them have hair like Ramon's, so I think you're thinking of something completely different entirely. Probably Rob Lowe.

Found on Amazon.com! CLASSIC! Especially the last line!

To begin to describe the impact this album has had on my musical tastes would use up the allotted space that Amazon provides for review writing. Chances are you have come to this album by way of the Kids soundtrack, if not then you probably know of Slint through their wide influence. This is how it happened with me. I watched the movie Kids. I purchased the soundtrack because of the Folk Implosion song "nothings gonna stop the flo". While listening to that soundtrack, I slowly took a liking to the song "good morning captain". At the time, I liked the track because it slowly built itself up to a frenzied Nirvana style ending.

I once tried clicking the "I am the artist and I wish to comment" link in an attempt at apologising on behalf of Nick Cave for one of his albums but it didn't work.

Newt Gingrich is a "Top 500" reviewer.

"And Yo, you dude, the slang police! Lestat talks like I do. He always has and he always will. You really wouldn't much like being around either one of us."

Anne Rice OTM!

Aside from the sheer volume of video clips, The Best of Kids & Animals contrasts the styles of former host Bob Saget and current host Tom Bergeron. Saget was a deeply conflicted man: In his eyes lurks a mixture of self-loathing that he'd stooped so low and glee that he was being paid to do something so completely effortless. Bergeron, on the other hand, is at one with his job; it's as if he can't imagine a more worthy task than introducing a video in which his head has been superimposed over that of a man bitten on the hindparts by a camel.

that truncheon thing, July 29, 2007
By Dr. Eigenvalue

I don't know enough about homeopathy to know if "extra-strength" means that there is more or less of the active ingredient. Thinking about it gives me a headache. I think "extra strength" means less medicine, because the central tenet of homeopathy is that the more one dilutes a substance the more medicinal power it acquires. So look for the "maximum strength" Headon, which will presumably have no ingredients whatsoever.

The fact of the matter is that Headon is just wax and menthol. If that cures your headache, more power to you, but then you might as well try Vicks Vaporub Ointment - 6 Oz or a bag of frozen tater tots, which will be both more effective and fun to eat.

If your headache is not caused by tension, then nothing you apply directly to the forehead or anywhere else will work. Most headaches are vascular, and migraines are caused by cortical spreading depression. Wax and menthol do not enter the bloodstream or brain, even when mixed with "extra strength" homeopathy.

Another disappointing aspect of this product is that it has nothing to do with Topper Headon, who played drums on the Clash's seminal album London Calling. I would not recommend either product for headache relief.

2.0 out of 5 stars Forget this product . Don't u have better things to do?, January 25, 2005
By Alejandro Castillo "eVo" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Virus of the Mind:: The New Science of the Meme (Paperback)
This product was a waste of the obvious. The book is joke. How are you going to teach using the "adventures of eggbert" and making example which are irrelevant to your point? Plus most of it is theory and very opinionated. Very opionated. He himself is infected with the "money" meme. He constantly shamelessly promotes his book "getting past okay". The book was designed for a person with a reading level below average. Unless you like to read inaccurate outdated information don't waste your money. I would suggest to u don't buy this book . Try getting another book. One actually written with someone with a PHD in that department , not by a second rate hack who got removed from micosoft. After all wat does a programmer really know about pyscology compared to a PHD pyscology proffesor like David J. Liberman?

I would like to think of myself as "a waste of the obvious."

5.0 out of 5 stars Kobolds Laying the Smackdown at Burgermaster, November 15, 2004
By Terrance "Haircut Jones" (Long Beach) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Virus of the Mind:: The New Science of the Meme (Paperback)
This book is the ultimate Memetics Manual, the first is the best. It gives you specific details on monsters. Being that I only have 2 hit points, I have to pick my monsters carefully. Once, while at Burgermaster, a kolbold threw a burger at me with his sling. He rolled a 20, a critical hit, and the burger did 2x the normal damage, knocking me out for 2 hp! As I lay unconcious, a gelatinous cube slowly slimed my burger and fries up. When I came to, I saw him slowly digesting my burger and fries and I exclaimed "How rude!" But the Gelatinous cube just rumbled his gelationous bulbous stomach at me. I would have kicked it's ass, but luckily the Monster Manual told me that would've been a bad idea to use my hands. So instead I used my bic lighter and he apologized for eating my combo #1.

4: Rise of the Silver Surfer

5 stars
Rise Of The Silver Surfer, June 19, 2007

My Opinion: This movie is awesome, the Fantastic four are back for another blockbuster hit. This movie is awesome.

About the Film: Mr. fantastic, The Human Torch, The Thing & The Invisible Woman are back again as the Fantastic Four. This Time the Fantastic Four has a new threat and he is called The Silver Surfer. When the silver surfer made a deal with The devour of worlds Galactus to save his home planet he leads galactus to earth and it's up to the fantastic for to stop him and on top of that Dr.Doom is back loose and causing trouble. But the surfer is'nt really a bad guy is he. Well watch the movie and find out.

My Second Opinion: Fantastic four 2 brings onther great marvel character to the big screen the Silver Surfer and he rocks.

if you liked this movie then check out, Fantastic Four 2: Rise Of The Silver Surfer, Soundtrack, Game And Movie Novel. and the First Fantastic Four Movie.

Deffantley not a comedy, June 8, 2007
i don't understand on how this is a comedy it's more of a drama. who ever said the funniest movie of the year was trippin'. it's not funny at all on what happens to the main character. i gave it two stars for effort, but it's something i waon't watch again.

Bewitched (Special Edition)

2 stars
Bewitched has been bestunk, June 8, 2007
will ferell is pretty funny in this movie, but the whole idea was stupid, they shoul've made a movie based on the show not the way they did it. I agree that it's a new take but in my oppinion it didn't fly very well. and they made nicole kidmans character to stupid. well thats all.

'bewitched has been bestunk' was one i was pretty proud of & the fact that you hold it up for mockery here speaks much more to yr nature than it does mine

Kirstin Dunst is awesome in this movie, but the movie itself was slow and boring for me. The only reason to watch it is because of her.

Michael Jackson: The Ultimate Collection

5 stars
If Your a Michael Jackson Fan, This Is The Cd To Get, February 15, 2005

Michael Jackson is one of the world's Greatest artist untile the day he dies. This collection of cd's has songs from when he was in the Jackson 5 & The Jacksons. This cd collection has all of his greatest songs that he made from Dancing machine to Unbreakable. He also has some unrealesed songs. So it makes it more intersting to buy. This Collection is worth the money you spend. And it also has a dvd of one of his concerts.

If You liked this cd collection check out History, Book 1. Past, Present & Future.(Another good cd complication)

Nagano Winter Olympics '98

that's a great game! :) speed skating! curling!

in some ways, that's my favourite of David's reviews. i can't decide if he hated it in '98 and the rage has burned within him for 10 years, or if he has only this year decided to try his hand at a game based on the winter olympics from 10 years ago.

also, it is a great game and he was rong as hell.

I love Herman Trout's four reviews, esp. the Barbara Cartland ones:
