Amazon and Headlines!

Have you guys heard of the Amazon 10th Anniversary "Special Deliveries"? Its where, in celebration of the tenth anniversary...Say you order a copy of The Big Lebowski (which you should), then Jeff Bridges hand delivers it. Its very cool, I think, and the videos are pretty neat. Check it out.

PS! The video with the delivery by Lemony Snicket author Daniel Handler is HIGH-LARIOUS. E3 and I agree has none of the "Artist" attitude that most stuffy authors (JK ROWLING-LUCAS, anybody?)
