Update: We're messing up Melania Trump's Amazon search results (lemmy.world)

This is an update to this post.

This weekend, Amazon is premiering its $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It's pretty clearly a bribe to the Trump family.

We're going to disrupt the big premiere weekend by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller novel Melania: Devourer of Men so it's high in the results. Maybe #1!

The book is perfect: It's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money. (Fun fact: It's free because of YOU, the users of A Boring Dystopia. After your comments on the last post I reached out to the author, and they agreed to make the book free this weekend.)

Currently, the book ranks #29 in Amazon search results for Melania. But all the other Melania results seem pretty weak (lol), so we can pull this off pretty easily. We just need people to:

  1. "Buy" the book (it's free)
  2. Share this post and get other people to "buy" the book.

That's it.

Here's a link to the book, in case your Lemmy client stripped out the links above: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HN9XC1H

Please share and we can celebrate as an erotic novel about a bat monster Melania Trump becomes a higher and higher search result on Amazon!

God dammit I can't even make up wild enough lies to miss the insane truth.

After the 2016 election, the NY Times assembled a panel of TV creators. 'The West Wing,' 'House of Cards', 'Scandal,' and other political dramas were represented.

All the creators said the same thing; if they'd had a fictional candidate say the things Donald Trump had said in real life, every advertiser and network executive would demand that the character be shown as hated by all Americans, and lose the election in a landslide.
