That screen is a little too small I'd say...

it's just a computer-made keyword algorithm to draw your attention.

Looks like it succeded.

When you click on it, it just takes you to Amazon's iPod page. I was hoping to see a false ad of some sort.

As for the algorithm, I know that the information it draws from a text pulls up something, but I don't think that it flat out assembles words. I think this is someone's genuine mistake.
