Nick Bergus on the dangers of clicking a “like” button in the name of humor:
>Amused, I posted it to Facebook with the line “A 55-gallon drum of lube on Amazon. For Valentine’s Day. And every day. For the rest of your life.” And then I went on with my life.
>A week later, a friend posts a screen capture and tells me that my post has been showing up next to his news feed as a sponsored story, meaning Amazon is paying Facebook to highlight my link to a giant tub of personal lubricant.

I don’t know what Bergus is thinking here — he didn’t use an affiliate code on his link to the lube. So I have taken the time to do so, [buy it from Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B005MR3IVO/ref=nosim&tag=brooksreview-20) and I will post a link to your site if you use my affiliate code — you just need to provide me with a short 100-word review of the product. ((No, really, I will.))

[Hurry](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B005MR3IVO/ref=nosim&tag=brooksreview-20), only 10 left as of this writing.

Note: This site makes use of affiliate links where and when possible. These links may earn this site money when utilized.
