Money Talks, Bullsh*t walks

Anyone else notice the disconnect between Amazon Editors/Critic's Top Three Picks of 2004 and their customers?

The Critics' Choice

Top 100 Editors' Picks:After much debate (and a little hair pulling), the Amazon.com editors finally agree. Here are our picks for the 100 best DVDs of 2004.
  1. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended Edition)
  2. Lost in Translation
  3. Fahrenheit 9/11

The Customers' Favorites

Top 100 Bestsellers: Our customers know best, and you show it here. These are your favorites, the top-selling DVDs of 2004.
  1. Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Edition)
  2. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended Edition)
  3. Shrek 2 (Widescreen Edition)


I really wanted to like "Translation" but fell alseep twice...prolly a generational thang...but I thought it a bore. Fatso's anti-Bush screed is #14 in the Customer's top 100, guess Amazon's customer base is more Red State than Blue.

Heh.

> guess Amazon's customer base is more
> Red State than Blue.

The Blues, after careful analysis, were
found to be overweight, ugly, whiskery,
stupid (uneducated, too), and underpaid.
They have a lot in common with sewer rats
(who also live in the big cities), but the
rats are actually smarter.
