How I Became Amazon’s Pitchman for a 55-Gallon Drum of Personal Lubricant on Facebook

My career as a personal lubricant pitchman started with a favorited tweet that linked to Amazon where, for just $1,495, anyone could purchase a 55-gallon drum of Passion Natural water-based lubricant. Amused, I posted it to Facebook. A week later, a friend posts a screen capture and tells me that my post has been showing up next to his news feed as a sponsored story, meaning Amazon is paying Facebook to highlight my link to a giant tub of personal lubricant.
