Whiskey tango foxtrot?

So, quick survey. If you go to Amazon, and search for "civilization 4 mac" do you get as a bizarre a second result as I did?

Or is it tracking some really bizarre demographic info about me that I wasn't aware of?

(Here's what they offered me.)

I get it too.

It looks like those who bought one, bought the other, and Amazon routinely shows you the similar purchases after your search match. No matter who you are :)

Yep.

What do customers ultimately buy after viewing this item?
26% buy Sid Meier's Civilization IV Other products by 2K Games $49.99

That's... pretty odd.

That appeared second in the list for me.

Snork. That's pretty random. And hilarious!

Ayep. Scroll down a bit, too, and there are a few other gems!

Clearly, your first mistake was in trying to associate "mac" and "civilization". Amazon must have parsed your query as leet-speek meaning, "Civilization for mac".

Silly boy.
