My first reaction was, "great...now there's gonna be a patent on helicopter crash survival, and nobody else will be allowed to live through one without paying amazon.com money."

it was more a sarcastic-cynical, not a mad cynical (i don't always like the icon choices they have here). the context is that amazon.com's been getting patents on bluntly obvious and easy stuff that they shouldn't be getting if the PTO actually did their damn job right.
