I think they should be forced to honour posted prices.
Their ToS is very clear that they don't.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, yeah, pipe dream.
Web sites get to have ToSes. Isn't there an urban legend/real story about some ad that used the word "bananas" as currency, and someone showed up to buy whatever in bananas and they had to accept?
What happens if it's a newspaper price, and you hit the store before errata?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Wasn't the Punch-Drunk Love pudding deal based on a true story?

There isn't a news ad in the world that doesn't have "prices subject to change without notice" someplace in the tiny print. Okay, maybe in the world, but not in the US, where somebody probably went to court over it.

Suddenly I'm imagining the fraud lawsuits associated with that "Coke resurrects the dead!" advert translation in China.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Stargate FYI: The syndication is finally moving out of S6 and into S7, so if you missed it when it was on Sci-Fi, here's your chance.

Wooot!
... although I still haven't seen Sleepwalkers or Frozen or a few other S6 episodes. Wanna see Jack get snaked.
Yes, I'm a freak, why do you ask?

You don't see Jack get snaked. You see him carried through the gate on his way to snakedom, then you see him again in the beginning of Abyss. Yeah, don't ask me.
Presumably this means S6 will enter into the Sci-Fi rotation? Though I don't actually know about that one way or another.
