The jokers at Fark.com were thrown for a loop today when someone posted that a book about the New England Patriots’ perfect 19-0 season was already available for preorder at Amazon.com.
A thread at Fark — consisting, at last count, of 470 posts — quickly raced out of control while Amazon removed the book from its web site.
And the really funny part? There’s a similar book about the New York Giants, ready to go to print, too. Which Amazon didn’t remove.
Books touting a perfect season for the New England Patriots and a New York Giants victory already are available for pre-order.
Amazon.com is offering advance sales of a book written by The Boston Globe sports staff, 19-0: The Historic Championship Season of New England’s Unbeatable Patriots, for $14.95.“I’m sure it a was a keystroke error,” Patriots spokesman Stacey James said, tongue in cheek. “I check the paper, and last I checked, we’re 18 and 0.”
Also available for pre-order on Amazon is Road Warriors: The New York Giants Incredible 2007 Championship Season, by the New York Post, also $14.95.
Sports Publishing Inc. is offering two books for pre-order, one if the Patriots win, one if the Giants win. They each cost $10.17.
Geez. Talk about your sudden death…
