What's with the dumbass reviews on Amazon?

7 replies
Eh I'm not sure if you guys read the reviews at all or if this is been posted before..

But all the reviews I'm reading on Amazon are completely retarded..

I made a thread earlier about promoting items that have a price tag of $10k+ (this could be the cause of the smartass reviews?)

So I'm browsing around.. ($10k+ items)

2 Reviews on a watch:

1. Best Watch I Have Ever Owned!! I was going to purchase a second watch but I did not want to pay another 9.95 in shipping.

2. When I was debating the purchase of this watch, I had three stringent requirements. 1: It had to shoot off a chakram like Xena that would decapitate my enemies on site. 2: It had to allow seamless travel to the netherworld. And 3: it had to keep accurate time.

After much debate, I went with this watch and not giving my children the much needed money for their community college education. The chakram (If I'm even spelling this right) does not deploy as expected. The travel to the netherworld is choppy, occasionally leaving me stranded there with Quetzalcoatl and Xolotl. And last but not least, it is very poor at keeping time. According to this watch, it is still 1985 when spending this much money on a watch was considered cool.

A review on a ring:

1. i bought my wife, since so rich, it is nice. I almost lost it but i found it on the floor and throw at her

etc. etc. etc.

They go on and on.. any point to this?

    Welcome to the internet. Some people are just really stupid (or English isn't their first language). If you want to see some real stupidity, read YouTube comments or Yahoo! Answers responses. Those make me cry.

      Sounds like classic internet trolling to me.

      Basically people (usually kids) that are bored with lots of free time and wanna have fun being a smart-aleck & wise guy on the interwebs.

    The weird thing is that Amazon checks every review before they publish it apparently - although I suppose most people just look for the number of 5 star reviews before they buy - rather than what people are actually saying!

    This is hurt me brain, I order new one since I is wealthy, but didn't want to pay shipping for Netherworld, because FedEx and UPS join forces to create Fed-Up.

    And don't get me started on Tripadvisor!

    This sort of review is too common:

    "Great staff and service, to bad Russians are everywhere"

    ...The Russians start drinking at 10.00 am, until late in the evening. There are immensely loud and not social at all. If you are not paying attention, they will walk right thru you. They skip lines and are really really rude against the staff. There is not one Russian family, there are dozens and dozens...
    People travel to a foreign country then complain that they meet foreign people. Strange!

    Wow, I haven't heard that before. And I think it's weird, too, that these are live since a reviewer does need to approve of posts (at least those that are middle to low rated).

    Strange...
