U.S. Consumers Demand Wider Selection

WASHINGTON, DC—Dissatisfied with their current range of choices, American consumers banded together Sunday to demand a wider selection of merchandise from the nation’s retailers. “The current so-called ’selection’ is deplorable,” said group spokesperson and educated shopper Georgette Hughes. “Most things you buy, there’s barely more than 20 varieties. When I go to an electronics chain, I want to see several hundred VCRs from which to choose. When I’m shopping for kitty litter, I want a thousand. This is bullshit.” Hughes is calling for a mass boycott of all U.S. stores, with the exception of Home Depot and Wal-Mart.
