How Lame is Overstock.com? (OSTK)

The Stalwart submits: On the left is a screengrab of a Google ad I came across yesterday. "Shop with Amaz-on" is, as you can see, the top line not for Amazon.com, but for Overstock.com. Apparently, CEO Patrick Byrne et. al. think they can only attract visitors by tricking them into thinking they're visiting their well-known competitor.

This kind of nonsense coming out of Overstock shouldn't surprise any readers of this blog.
