Cynical Nation

I'm always amazed and impressed by Amazon's ability to offer upsell titles and recommendations that I'm actually interested in, based on my past purchasing habits.

But you know who really sucks at that kind of thing? Ticketmaster. Case in point: I opened my e-mail today and there's mail from Ticketmaster with the subject "Barry, Don't Miss Tom Jones!"

Don't worry, I won't. I can categorically promise that I won't miss him even a little.
