Amazon's Special Thank-You

Posted by Zonk on from the i'm-old dept.

theodp writes "To commemorate its 10th Anniversary, Amazon.com announced that on July 16th customers will receive a special thank-you - a concert featuring Bob Dylan and Norah Jones. Of course, customers will be squinting at streaming video while Amazon employees actually attend the concert at Seattle's Benaroya Hall, but isn't it the thought that counts?"

  4. "Amazonian" Exotic Dancers anyone? by gotglint42 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I suggest purchasing the services of exotic dancers for an "Amazonian" themed brouhaha. Certainly nobody would turn down a live feed of the cultural tribute...

      That's not a bandwidth problem, you're listening to the William Shatner cover.

    People have been able to do a lot with carrier pigeons. I'm surprised you guys never figured out how to take that to another level with kangaroos. That would solve your problem. You guys have an abundance of a natural dellivery person roaming around. Do something with it. You can't just keep waiting for inovation to fall from the sky.

    I [am] Jesus and I like John Ashcroft's singing, you insensitive clod!

    If you were Jesus, you never would have let anyone in America even know who John Ashcroft is. I will still always remember him neither as the Attorney General of the United States nor as the number one runner up to Shatner's "I Want to Sex You Up" as the biggest earbleed of all time, but as the guy who lost his senate seat to a dead guy.

    Voters of Missouri: "Hmmm... Ashcroft or dead guy. Ashcroft or dead guy... I'll take the dead guy!"

    George W. Bush: "Yep, the loser to the dead guy is the person I want as one of the most powerful people in my administration! Oh, and could you please vote for me again in 2004?"

    Voters of Missouri: "Okay, no problem..."

    Karl Rove: "I AM A GOD!!!"

    Me: (sigh)
