i can understand that people may like what they get in return for being a product, and respect the decision, but in the end that's what they become.
it's not like it's brought up to piss you (random reader) off, you have to understand that the moment you consent in being a product you have to expect being routinely exploited like this lady has (allegedly) been.
of course, someone could make a big drama out of this, even have some regulation enforced to protect the products' rights
so it may be in fact a cliché, but as long as such news keep hitting the headlines you can't possibly say it's being overused.
