That's hilarious!!! Anyway, no idea who's doing it, but it would seem some kind of massive DDOS attack on Amazon is happening >.>

Edit - I was watching Game of Thrones, so I didn't see your original post :)

1. Die and go to the worst place imaginable but all of your loved ones can live for as long as they choose.

OR

2. Sacrifice your friends, family, and loved ones.. sending theym to the worst place imaginable but you get to live for as long as you want and have 3 random superpowers.

Taco Bell.

Amazon is..

..an evil empire that engages in shady buisiness practices. They don't get my money anymore, as I switched to a Nook, and buy things on Newegg and eBay.

In the future, all restaurants are Taco Bell.

With you there. I say a nice inside look at employment in the logistics contractors Amazon uses, and it's quite disgusting. Abusive, exploitative. I don't care to order from them anymore.
