Amazon weirdness, money laundering or ???

I noticed this the other day. A lot of the cheap Chinese knock-off stuff has started getting listed with names that are a paragraph. (one of the item's names included the word "ludicrous" or something like that.

When I search for "2 step ladder" I get 2 pages of hits that make sense


and then on the third page, things go a little crazy.


Are there folks that are trying to sell stuff that are morons, or is this some sort of tactic to make sure that other hits are several pages down so rivals don't sell anything, or is this some sort of money laundering scam?

Or are the Chinese just hoping for morons to buy some of this insanity? Or Smuggling maybe?
