The wonderful thing about capitalism

Google to the rescue, apparently it’s for people who wipe while still sitting:

Aside from that, for a good example of the choice problem, consider a bereaved relative who has just lost a close family member being put on the spot to choose from among the thousands of makes, models, colors of coffin for their loved one, having to sit there while the salesman goes through page after page of pictures. Sure, if somebody wanted a Harley Davidson coffin, or the relative says “he always liked blue, can we have a blue one?” it’s nice if that option is available. But there should be a default and it should be “do you want to see options or have a specific request, or would you like the default?”.

I think most things are like that. It’s good to have choices for those who have specific preferences or needs, but there should also be a generic default for the masses that just need the thing and don’t need or want to make choices about it.
