Amazon: obsessed with sheep?

Amazon has WAY too much time on their hands.

Apparently Amazon payed it's workers 2 cents to "draw a sheep facing left", and they came up with 10,000 sheep.

Most of the sheep are no works of art, but there are a few fairly good ones. Like number 1868. (it tells you the number in the top right corner of the page) The rest look as if the workers were in a hurry and didn't really care what their sheep looked like. One guy must have been in a huge hurry, because his sheep wasn't a sheep. It just said "sheep". I suppose that's one way to cut corners.

So, my question to them is this: WHY??

Yeah, I don't get it. Really weird. I agree with you, 1868 is pretty good.
