Okay Amazon, this is just ridiculous

I get that you want to synergize and you’re expanding into every product category known to man, but come on Amazon, you have one of the most massive stores of customer data in the history of civilization, and yet your brilliant recommendation engine spits out crap like this?

Powerbook buyers also like All detergant!

Has it ever occured to you that my taste in computers might not directly map to my tastes in laundry detergant? Not to mention, why would I buy my laundry detergant *online*? In addition to this recommendation based on my PowerBook ownership, I was also told I might like Ralph Lauren polo shirts because my fellow iPod buyers do. The hell?
