When I was a kid, the SNES first went on sale.

It was $199 in all the shops, with the Super Mario Brothers cartridge thrown in.

Except one store I looked in where price was the same, but the cartridge was not included - to give customers a choice, the staff explained - rather than forcing them to get it with Super Mario Brothers, they could buy any game they wanted separately.

I think this has them beaten, though.

It even beats the marriage-equality opponents who claimed that gay people had all the same rights as straight people - since they could marry any opposite-sex person they wanted, just the same.

Not *that* low, through. They aren't trying to screw your entire life for petty reasons, at least they do it for money.
