Amazon UK Top Seller List August 2011 Riot Gear Edition

With riots happening all over English cities Amazon UK provides great insight in the mentality of its residents.  One of the more entertaining posts on Amazon UK is for the Rucanor Aluminium Baseball Bat, Silver – 60 cm. Post is from user “Harry Fish (Bristol, England)” stating:

“This bat is perfectly weighted and will suit any UK shop-owner looking to protect their property. Thanks to the ergonomic handle, one easy swing should be enough to shatter patellas, skulls or any other bone on your targeted looter. Personally, I would recommend also investing in some fingerless gloves for extra grip.”

Baseball bats like the one above Amazon UK sales rank rose 5,690%

Other items such as Night Sticks rose 7,000%. Data can be lots of fun! Thanks Amazon UK!
