Still, it was funny to see the ad while they literally could not deliver me anything.

I decided to tweet about it and now I've got Amazon's customer service bot trying to talk to me on twitter. No bot, you cannot help. Not unless you can pay your damn employees more.

Anyway, ad targeting fail. Super fail.
