Wives Sue Hollywood over Failure to Provide Romantic Endings


STOCKTON, Calif. (DPI) - Twenty women who claim they were misled into marrying "under-achieving losers" are filing suit against eight major film studios for neglecting to place warning labels on romantic comedies. "Romantic comedies instruct that to find the man of your dreams, you have to be engaged to a loser who is completely wrong for you," said 31-year-old claimant Lisa Cannon. "Then at some point before you wed,he comes by and rescues you." Cannon claims that in an effort to find the best "Mr. Right," she sought out the largest loser she could find, but was never saved. And now that her trailer has been repossessed, she finds herself homeless with eight children and a gambling husband. "We refuse to believe Hollywood would have the nerve to hack out the exact same plot device in the last 785 of the last 787 romantic films," said Cannon's attorney, John Patterson. "Clearly, they were trying to confuse our clients into believing this was reality."
