    Very funny. I also find it interesting that they have worded all of the options as "buy" instead of "pay" or some other choice. "Graduation" and "buy" shouldn't be on the same page.

    lol ... I suspect that is a "test" item that the developer forgot to remove. :stooges:

    In context of web shopping "Buy" just means "Add to my shopping cart/basket" or "Add to my order".

    "Pay" is used after proceeding to checkout and filling the customer information.

    Or you could always just use "Add to cart" and avoid the connotations...

    Ah, yes, the famous "placeholder" curse, which they forgot to remove.

    (Among the famous ones is the Boston Globe, where someone put a placeholder headline on an article about a speech by Jimmy Carter, and they forgot to replace it. The paper hit the streets with the headline, "Mush From the Wimp.")
