Confused by the title? It refers to when you visit a website and it offers recommendations. eg "if you liked the movie Mallrats, you might want to check out Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back". That sort of thing.

Well, I want to know how these recommendations are derived on sites like IMDb.com, or Amazon.com.

I was just reading the entry for ESPN's "The Sports List" with Summer Sanders and, at the bottom of the page (Sports List on IMDb), it said "If you like this title, we also recommend..." and the recommendation was "Happy Tree Friends: Volume 1: First Blood".

Here's the description for HTF...

They're cute, they're happy, they're cuddly, they love life, and they die in the most gruesome ways - every single episode...


How did these two shows get equated? Please help. I'm confused.

What other completely ridiculous recommendations have you received either by a living person or a website?
