Amazon’s search function can be a good source of amusement. Today I entered the search string, “civilization 4”. The top 2 results were expected: the regular and special editions of the game. But nestled between the Civ 4 Strategy Guide and Age of Emipres III was this gem:

Reading on, it quickly became disappointing. It becomes apparent that the real content is legitimate social commentary. They explain that its name is a metaphor for the “deceptive practices of news media, and how easily we’ve all succumed to it, now requiring it for our daily nourishment.” What a let down.

But then, I checked out the standalone site (NSFW) outside of the iTunes Store. Good decision, me!
