Ebay Hit That One Right on the Nose

If you're a member on EBay.com, you probably have received emails from them stating something like... "We think you'll like . . ." And they proceed to list a bunch of items that are, supposedly, in the same category or liking of something you've bought in the past on EBay.
Yesterday, I bought an External Dial up modem for my parents computer. Today I get an automated email from them saying, "We think you'll like..." :

1.) Verizon Cell Phones - Smart phones and PDA's.

If Only I were a Verizon Member if only they treated their customers with respect.

2.) Nikon D40 Digital Cameras and Accessories

At this point, I figured EBay had already given up on guessing what I actually like. I figured they were thinking "Hell, everybody has or wants a digital camera..they'll all buy this".

3.) Ed Hard Clothing & Accessories.

WTF?

4.) Apple iPOD Touch & Accessories.

Never purchased an iPod and I will never throw my money away on one. Good luck getting an iPod repaired or replacing the battery without spending a limb. I prefer cheaper alternatives. It doesn't take much to play an MP3. Not Linking to their site :)

5.) Nintendo Wii Fit ..

Again, I have nothing related to this product. I haven't had a video console in YEARS! I won't link to their site either ;)

6.) Everything Xbox 360

I don't support Microsoft.

Anyway, those were the items. .I've attached the image from the email below. All image editing is done with Open Source Software - THE GIMP!
