i don't think its tacky. as long as you're not putting up a big flashy sign saying buy me shit or you can leave now, sucka. i mean, if they click on the link, and buy you something, well, then whee! but if not, at least you put it out there.

(that being said, i think i have in the past had a link to my amazon wishlist that said "buy me shit." so maybe i'm just tack-tack-o-rama. nobody's bought me anything yet.)

I just said it was tacky. I never said not to do it! Look at how I dress for chrissakes.

Whad'ya say we buy each other a pair of the Hulk Hands and host an exibition boxing match in the garden! All the proceeds, of course, go to fellow green things.

Oh God, did I actually say that? Must remember: never. type. sober.

I knew that would ruffle some feathers, but every time I look at Amazon it seems they've found a new way to get people to advertise/work for them for free. They'd have you believe that user-contributed reviews are there for the customer's benefit, when in reality paying a writer would cut into their bottom line. And those "so you want to..." lists, and "people who bought this also bought this", it all rubs me the wrong way, it's like the online version of self checkout at the grocery store.
And why is there so much cotton in aspirin bottles?
