What is the worst or funniest automated suggestion ever made for you on Amazon or another site?

Asked by keobooks (14322points) March 24th, 2013

I was on Netflix and looked up “The Color Purple” and got a Barney the Dinosaur movie “Barney’s Colorful World” as a suggestion as something I might like instead of the movie I wanted to see.

So anyone else out there got totally inappropriate suggestions from Netflix, Amazon or another site that makes movie or book suggestions for you?

It kind of makes me mad that Facebook keeps sending me diet ads. How do they know I’ve gained a few pounds? I have my own plan for getting them off thank you.

Google used to give me text ads for spam recipes when I checked my spam folder.
