The top search result for "Slovenian" is the book "Slovak for You."

    I don’t think it’s intentional this time. I guess they have a computer algorithm that compares the first letters of "SLOVenian" with "SLOVakian", assumes you made a spelling error - and then returns similar results.

    Odd, On the US site, http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/102-3745110-0474552it’s all Slovenia for the first 10 or so products.  Even a t-shirt proclaiming "I’m Slovenian" or another stating "Perfect Slovenian".   The USA always gets hammered that its citizens are geographically clueless.  Perhaps, but, unlike at least as evidenced by the German site,  the US isn’t taking over countries via its commercial might.

    I know that “los” means something like “Go!” in German, but my first thought when seeing that image was the Slovenian word “los” and I started wondering “what does a moose have to do with all that?” :)

    Hmm, have you tried with "Slowenisch*", since you’re mentioning amazon.DE? You get much more results. Including "Das jugloslawische Desaster". ;)
