I saw the extreme R rated video for sale at amazon in the ad to the left and am already correcting it.

Somebody went and bought some romance novels again.

With the advent of the internet I have to wonder why anyone would even need to purchase that stuff....especially on VHS? but I digress

I'll remain good and not tell you the names of the videos.

Also, thanks again to the individual who bought the television from Amazon roughly the size of our beams. It netted the association a nice $ in referral fees.

no ----- he only knows what was purchased. He doesn't know by whom and to be honest, he's really to lazy to go check all that often

Amazon is great for that. I was looking for kids dvd's when I found "trailer park girls #23" right after Thomas the tank engine!

Years ago, a friend's very young twin daughter's were into collecting the American Girl series of dolls and they aked their dad (my friend) if he could help them look for some doll information on this new internet thingy they just got. Anyway, my friend, who was not so internet savvy, did a search on "American Girls" and clicked on one of the search results only to have a slew of porn site windows pop up onto the screen while he and his innocent little daughters looked on.

If you refresh and watch the ads you get a combination of sailing terms and mix that may be the problem . . . sailing singles, Rendezvous, Private and Corporate Parties, huge, bareboat . . etc.

Amazon does not have a very complicated algorithm.

Yep, that's the one we're talking about. Don't blame Google for the problem it's Amazon's ad engine that is generating it.

Amazon's engine goes off of a lot of stuff - previous purchases being one of them...
