Submission + - Consumer Complaint about Simpsons Merchandise
Keyz Karanza writes: "I am not sure this would qualify as news-worthy. In fact it is probably pretty trifling, but I wanted to make it known anyway — it is sort of a "consumers screwed yet again" interest.
I had recently bought a 365-Day Simpsons Trivia Desk Calendar, as I do every year. On the box, it clears states that the calendar contains "all-new trivia". Up until 2007 this had been true. But that came to an end.

This is one of MANY examples showing that the 2007 calendar utilizes a blatant recycling of trivia questions. It wouldn't have been so bad, except for the fact that the publisher, Harper Paperbacks, intentionally lied about it right on the box.
I am not looking to collect any money from a lawsuit or even get my money refunded. And I am fully aware that I am just a Simpsons nerd and my complaint will probably never amount to anything. It would just be nice to see someone "call their bluff" so to speak by making their deception a little more wide-known than just me complaining to a handful of people.
I hope you can help. If not, thanks anyway."
