ok – i know you hafta love amazon – bleh bleh blah.
but i really can not stand their “Customers also bought.” This is so transparent it actually makes me angry. So supposedly customers who bought Mama’s Gun also bought albums by only other women R&B artists. They bought only movies directed by black people and can only stand to read books by Terry McMillan and E Lynn Harris. Why can’t they just call it “Shit We Think is Like This, But We Haven’t Tried Too Hard.”
fuckers.
