Maybe I got sidetracked by the media scrum following Paris Hilton's latest moves. But did someone perform a mass gene transplant on the once formidable American consumer and I missed the news?

Back in the day, all hell would break loose if a manufacturer tried to duck responsibility when one of its products malfunctioned. It was a matter of simple honesty: in return for paying the price of a purchase, a customer was entitled to a fair deal.

No longer.
