      Wow. Is this 2018 or 1948?

         We should also clarify: These ads were by a 3rd party seller, so it isn't that #Amazon created the ads.

            @lnxw48a1 Yes that's important to point out. Amazon didn't issue a statement but OTOH I'm not really sure what they're supposed to say in this situation besides "don't do that please". It's just unfortunate it happened at all.

         @lnxw48a1 @infernalturtle Stupid but probably overblown.  Also, if you go into your typical dollar store or pound shop you'll see a LOT of this (these stores often buy up lots that don't sell form other places, can't imagine why this shit wouldn't sell though xP) but Amazon having dollar store grade shit like that is a little surprising.
