The Brits are definitely Nutters

So I ordered Harry Potter online, like I always do. I get the British versions. They're a lot funnier than the dumbed down Americanized ones. Instead of just saying someone has gone crazy they'll say something cool like they've gone 'round the twist'. Anyhow, you have to use Amazon.co.uk to get them.

Today I got a email from them saying that because of my order I'm now entitled to buy selected discounted items. I looked through the list, and it was mostly related items, kids books and video games and the like. Then at the bottom of the list I see this:

"Closer to Nature Breast Pump"
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Closer-to-Nature-Breast-Pump

Can somebody explain to me that logic? I'm not offended, it just seems a bit of a stretch to me. I mean really, what percentage of Harry Potter readers happen to currently be in need of a breast pump?

Wait, maybe I don't want to know.

OH MY GAWD! I knew there was a reason I love you. I totally prefer the Brit HP also. I bought the first one when I was in London, but haven't had the $$ or brains to pre-order the 7th. Can I borrow yours??? ;)

Um, and about the breast-pump thing: My only idea is that They were watching me while I spent a summer of reading HP while my infant girl was nursing...they figured as important and smart as I am, this must be how it goes when women breast feed? It's all about me, you know.
Fuck, I don't know dude. That's weird.
