Amazon.com Customers Who Bought Gerardo Also Bought...
One of the most user-friendly tools to come out of the online retail industry is Amazon.com's "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought..." section. A welcomed form of targeted marketing, it's relevant, unobtrusive, even valuable. And, in some cases, totally hilarious.

Take, for example, Gerardo's classic Spanglish album, Mo' Ritmo, which contained such hits as Rico Suave and ... well, it could take days to name all of Gerardo's hits.

Anyway, Amazon.com tells us that "customers who bought this album also bought" Samantha Fox's Greatest Hits.

So, let me get this straight. People who bought one piece-of-shit album also bought another piece-of-shit album? Gotcha!

What makes this most frightening is that the section doesn't read "people who viewed this page also viewed..." It says "bought." As in someone in the Internet age paid actual money for albums by both Gerardo and Samantha Fox.

I say we hunt these people down. No one can feel completely safe with them walking our streets.

And, while we're at it...

Things You May Have Forgotten About Rico Suave:
• His only addiction has to do with the female species
• He eats 'em raw like sushi
• Women that won't let go are the price he pays for being a gigolo
• Since no women could handle a man like him, he juggled two or three
• Two hours late, he never said he was a prompt date
• If he tried that food, he'd be puking

Rico Suave wasn't even his best work. The legend was made in Can't Buy Me Love. What an actor!

Awesome. Wonder if I'd recognize him if I saw that today.

I see he's also in Pauly Shore Is Dead, which arrives today from NetFlix. Don't tell me how it ends!

You'd recognize him. Shirt half unbuttoned, bandana in certain scenes. He played one of the football players in the "in" crowd. I think he threw the food grenade (can't remember what kind of food it was) at Kenneth in the outdoor cafeteria. I think the line was "Incoming!!"

Carlos Mencia is awesome. He has a show on Comedy Central called Mind of Mencia and a stand up show that is absolutely hysterical.
