That's actually kinda accurate

Amazon has a nifty new feature where you enter a specific PayPhrase that gives you a shortcut to spending your money even faster. If you have shopped there recently you noticed that Amazon will provide you with a suggest PayPhrase which is usually some random bit of word salad.



I was shopping for some baby products when spotted this proposed PayPhrase.

.
At any rate, the article is worth reading, if only for the delightful comments from like-minded readers.

If you guessed this post was just a lame excuse to recycle my angry TP graphic, you are especially astute!
