The Power of Data Mining?

So, my Amazon.com account tells me that since I own Buffy the Vampire Slayer, they recommend Leave it to Beaver DVDs.

All hail the magical powers of data mining.

I wouldn't mind so much but I finally decided to weed out some recommendations that make no sense and they keep repopulating it with other things that don't make sense.

I'd click on the "fix this" link but I'm honestly frightened of what they might conclude.

UPDATE: Oh, and because I purchased Chuck, Amazon thinks I'd like CHiPs.

I should put a shotgun, ammo, and a map of whatever city Amazon corporate headquarters is in on my wish list just to send a message.

UPDATE: One last one before I stop editing and simply pound my forehead into a wall stud. They think I should like Tales from the Crypt because I bought Chuck. Wouldn't it have made more sense to make that recommendation (wrong as it is) based on my Buffy ownership? Ya think?
