NO, the answer is CLEARLY that they use brownies and elves to code this stuff. Look, I've nothing against the little people, but they've a wicked sense of humor and they are competitive. They are constantly sabotaging the other side. The elves want to rule supreme in their little Kobo programming world so they keep stealing lines of code from the brownies. The brownies make sure the elves have soured milk for breakfast. I'm sure kobo is doing the best it can to keep the coding wars to a minimum, but meanwhile, we end up with recommendations like, "Keep your Socks Clean while Dating Your Favorite Erotica Dinosaur." Then when we click on such a title, we wonder why it isn't real!

I told them to hire contractors, but they went and hired a samurai thinking that would quiet things. The brownies promptly invited a Chinese dragon to the fold, which has kept the samurai nicely busy, but left the brownies and the elves to their private squabbles.

What can you do???
