Yeah, quite. There are a few corporations out there which make so much 
stuff, you can't possibly avoid giving them your money. (Well, unless 
you never buy /anything/, and that's not exactly feasible.)

Currently I'm seriously ****ed off with Amazon. When you buy something 
from them and the price on screen is X, you expect to pay X, plus some 
negligible amount for postage. You to /not/ expect to pay 1.5 X. If I 
had known that the /actual/ price was 1.5 X, I would not have purchased 
the item. The fact that Amazon hid this information seems tantamount to 
fraud, to me.

But hey, what can you do? It's not as if you can, I don't know, /file a 
complaint/ or anything. Nor that they would even /care/ if you did...
