Last night, Amazon removed my entire Harry Potter collection from my Kindle, swapped out all my fat-free milk for whole, and taunted my cat with a laser pointer.

Okay, I'm not sure about the laser pointer, but that's what the cat said.

I demand a refund of my refund and further compensation for the War of 1812. I am assured this under the terms of the Magna Carta and Hammurabi's Code. How dare they! Fie, Amazon! FIE!

I found every book about the war in Iraq disappeared from my kindle due to questions regarding the legality of that war! If only it was so easy...

Now I learn that Amazon tracked up the carpet and ordered a bunch of pay-per-view movies in the middle of the night!

Really, Amazon? You ordered 'St. Elmo's Fire' and 'The Karate Kid?'

Did someone's Members Only jacket have them feeling all nostalgic?

Riley, reports are pouring in from all over.

An Indiana woman claims Amazon remodeled her Modern Traditional living room into a 50s Retro mess. In Houston, a two-Kindle family told AP reporters a harrowing tale of being held hostage by Amazon for nearly two hours, while Amazon recounted the excrutiating details of a romantic breakup from 1998.

Three families in Birmingham awoke to find their surnames had legally been changed, by Amazon, to 'Askmeaboutmykindle.'

Most frightening of all, however, is the story just breaking in Los Angeles about a series of involuntary plastic surgeries conducted by Amazon while Kindlers slept. It seems that Amazon *does* read these posts -- but medical professionals have not yet determined how the backlights were installed in the Kindle owners' foreheads.

More as this story develops. And now for weather, with our own Ken Kindler...

I wonder if this explains why I awoke this morning to find a third eye on the back of my head...

I am never buying another e-book for my beloved Kindle. I do not want to invest in an e-library only to have Amazon delete it on me. Until I finish the books I have on my Kindle, I am shutting of the wireless entirely. Too bad, I liked the gadgetry.

I am not buying another kindle until they stop selling ebooks altogether and pledge to only sell DTBs. If they do that, I pledge to purchase every kindle they put out in the future.

Dog, I doubt that Amazon added the eye -- that's more an Apple move. Did you by chance just resynch your iPod?

AmaZombies tore out the last chapter of every DTB I own. And somebody... I'm not naming names... but SOMEBODY ordered with one click purchasing that $6,000 nuclear materials book. I mean, gosh, I like it and all. Gave it 5 stars but I already HAVE a copy. Geez.

Good point Frank... clever of amazon and apple. they appear in public to have different agendas but in reality they are in collusion. I think my third eye is evidence plenty for an antitrust prosecution.

Great, now Amazon just asked to 'crash on my couch for a few days.'

Oh, now Amazon is in the kitchen making a sandwich!

Hey, pal, when we dirty a knife around here it goes in the dishwasher, not the sink...whoa, hang on a minute, who is this? Overstock.com? Netflix Online? Yeah, Amazon, I DO have a problem with you having a few friends over!

No. Stay out of the wine rack! And you -- we use coasters in this house, buster!

Has anyone one else discovered a small scar on the back of their neck? I felt a sudden pain there when reading my Kindle and now I have a desire for Braaaaaaaaaains. (Oh and also to buy a Kindle edition of the nuclear material books). Just wondering.

I emailed Amazon and asked them to come to my house and remove all the s*** from my head that I'd read for the last two hours; their reply just asked me why would I want to do that, most of their customers are s***heads anyway?
