Obviously, this makes sense.  You can't blame Amazon for selling small 
children at a discount price - they are of course a time-dependant 
resource.  The value of a small child drops sharply as they approach 
teen age years and so they can be considered a perishable product.  Thus 
discounting before they reach their best-before date is a perfectly 
acceptable busines practice.

..I really don't see what everyone is getting so excited about..

Incedently it is normal practice in supermarkets to offer staff special 
discounts on things that are actually on their best before date, after 
this anything that is left other has to be destroyed or spoiled so as to 
avoid tramps and scavengers making use of it.
