hmmm what are the normal lines used when Amazon releases a similar statement....

"Its all marketing 101 BS"

"The sheep will buy the device because BN is making it sound like they sold a ton"

"Just tell us the real numbers. This is all BS"

Or my favorite

"Why does BN have to steal Amazon's thunder. Amazon released a similar statement before BN. Why couldn't they wait a few days?"

I know I am missing a few of the standard replies but I figure someone can chime in with them.
