It happened before, it’s happened again–Amazon.com needs to start hacking away at the dead wood that obviously draws a salary despite any semblance of best practices. This arrived in my inbox this morning:

[placeholder for winning team] Wins the NCAA Tournament!

Dear Amazon.com Customer,

Congratulations, [placeholder for winning team]! As someone who has purchased sports products from Amazon.com, we thought you should be the first to see our selection of NCAA championship products.

NCAA Championship Cap
Check out our championship hats, tees, and hooded sweatshirts in our NCAA Fan Shop.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html/ref=pe_sg_ncaa06champ_ftr?node=3386071

Available only while supplies last.

Obviously, this is in reference to tonight’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship game between UCLA and Florida. The operative word is tonight, as in future, meaning DON’T SEND THE FRICKIN’ EMAIL YET! (and when you do, you might want to replace “[placeholder]…”)

Bozos.
