Amazon Wank
So it seems that before Christmas Amazon had a DVD offer on boxsets - buy one get one free. Except they made a bit of a mistake and the lowest item was actually taken off twice. This resulted in, if you had two items of the same price, free DVDs.

As will happen people took advantage of this and people discussed whether that was ethical.

Skip forward to December 28th, and Amazon finally realises their error. All customers affected are asked to either return the boxsets unopened, or their credit cards will be charged the total price.

Aaaaand wank results People ask whether it's legal. Some people ring Amazon to complain. And some people sit proclaiming that it's all perfectly fine and serves folk right for taking advantage of it.

Those people disgust me. I wouldn't have taken advantage of that loophole.

"Birdhouse In Your Soul"

... Okay, that's not really fitting and everything. But I figgered responding with the names of TMBG songs might become the next STFU meme.

Look, slut!Ginny!!!

O rly? Congrats on your superior morality. Have a recipe that I got while watching CF_Hardcore get wanked on by a dumb troll.

Truffles

INGREDIENTS

* 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
* 3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
* 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips, melted
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until well blended. Stir in melted chocolate and vanilla until no streaks remain. Refrigerate for about 1 hour. Shape into 1 inch balls.

Notes

Roll truffles in ground walnuts (or any ground nuts), cocoa, coconut, confectioners' sugar, candy sprinkles, etc.

To flavor truffles with liqueurs or other flavorings, omit vanilla. Divide truffle mixture into thirds. Add 1 tablespoon liqueur (almond, coffee, orange) to each mixture; mix well.

I'd return the extra boxset as long as they paid for my postage, seeing as how I'm in Australia.
