Amazon Reviews

A few years ago, I started reviewing stuff on Amazon, all with the intent to get a high reviewer ranking. A lot of my reviews were not serious, since you could buy a lot of things on Amazon (condoms, blow-up dolls, tanks) that probably didn't warrant a serious review. I was on Amazon today shopping and thought I'd look through some old reviews. I found this exchange on one of my condom reviews. Seems I was causing some trouble amongst some serious condom shoppers:

		Trojan Magnum Lubricated Latex Condoms, Large Size Twister 12 ea Offered by Undercover Condoms Price: $10.95 Availability: In Stock		8 used & new from $4.89
0 of 19 people found the following review helpful: Ouch!, November 12, 2007 I should've read the product description a little more closely. These condoms are intentionally twisted. I put them on my junk, then tried to twist it back...needless to say, everything ended up in knots. All you non-magnum wearers wouldn't know anything about getting it tied up in knots. Daniel E. Cabral Jr. says: So, wait, you give the product a negative rating because of your own senselessness? After you figured out how they're SUPPOSED to work, were they any better/worse than normal Magnums? Did they live up to the "mutual pleasure" aspect they're trying to achieve?

Either way, ignore him. You replied with a later post Reply to this post Permalink | Report abuse | Ignore this customer 2 of 2 people think this post adds to the discussion. Do you?

Edit this post | Permalink Posted on Sept. 17, 2008 6:02 PM PDT Tym N says: Don't get worked up by this reviewer's (S. strap's) comments, I'm pretty sure they're fake. Note his review here: 12 Durex Enhanced Pleasure Condoms, Specially Contoured Condom for Snugger Fit and More Safety In which he says that the product (Durex Enhanced Pleasure Condoms, Specially Contoured Condom for Snugger Fit) fits loose! Note that this is a condom that would fit tighter than a normal condom. But look at his review for "Trojan Magnum Large Latex Condoms with Warm Sensations Lubricant, 12-Count Boxes (Pack of 3)." He 'says' that these large size (i.e. magnum) condoms "are a little snug and tight ... if you know what I'm saying." So the slim, snug-fit condoms are loose but ole strap the stud finds the magnums tight? Yeah, ok. He also glows about the Okamoto Crown condom, which is smaller than most condoms. If it's ultra thin and smaller than normal, but the larger than normal magnums (which are built like hefty bags) are tight, wouldn't it be dangerous to use these Crowns? My point: don't be influenced by this guy's reviews. While, as some of them are probably based on actual experience, most of them are utterly contrived, fake, and quite possibly an attempt to defraud customers.

You have busted me in my diabolical plot to defraud customers. Drats! Edit this post | Permalink Posted on Jan. 6, 2009 1:40 PM PST Glenn Yates says: Wow, and I thought I took life too seriously. Compared to the other commenters I'm like Krusty the clown. If you're worried about the veracity of a condom review you might need to chill.
