The translations in that ant bait article are even funnier.
Sounds like an act of war to me.

I remember I bought some 3rd party bags for my Litter Genie off Amazon. Some time after I bought it, I noticed a picture on the packaging that didn't have what, I assume, was the needed copyright info for the source of the image (it was a picture of a cat from an anime). I wondered if that picture was there on the product page or if the company had snuck it on after taking the pictures for the Amazon page, but when I returned to the product page, the image was of toilet paper or paper towel. It was some trick some sellers were doing for some reason (I think it has something to do with getting good reviews and replacing the product with something bad, or likely to have bad reviews)

That Samsung EVO will surely protect my PC from bugs. ROFL

I always get a laugh from these products with "evaporated cane juice". As if they're pretending a load of sugar is actually good for you.

Usually it's not, but together with Atlantic salmon as part of Italian cheese, it's great for you.

More information about Amazon: Years ago, I did some contract work for friends. Among other things, they had a problem with their own products' copy being changed. I wrote an application that scraped Amazon for just their listed products (they had hundreds) and I'd get an alert if there were changes to the specific product information. I don't know just the thinking behind it, but multiple vendors of identical products could modify one another's product descriptions. One day a cell-phone replacent screen became blueberry pie. I can only imagine some vendor out there hired his nephew and showed him how to update one of their products and.. "oops! you edited someone else's? don't worry about it. just move on."
