Just curious to get a relationship between a pack of cigs and a porn membership. Last time I went to London I thought it was reasonable until I realized you only got 10. So, how much is a pack of cigs (20 pack)???
Thx in advance.

Is that a 20 pack? or 10 pack? I thought a 20 pack was that price a few years ago?

Interesting. Trying to see how the falling US dollar makes porn more affordable compared to other things in other countries. With the US dollar falling and companies raising their prices, even a site that went from $25US to $30US is still cheaper overseas over the course of the last year.
BTW cigs in NYC are 7.50 US. So maybe I didn't pick a good item to compare.

In all honesty cigarettes are not the best thing to compare as the government here is committed to whacking up the price at every budget. I think thats twice a year but im not certain.
Porn is way more affordable for non USA surfers now than it was last year. The $ has made the US really cheap. Ive often wondered why more sites dont tell surfers the price in their currency as most non US surfers wont be used to working in $'s and so may not realise how cheap it actually is.

I think they would just end up converting back to $ in a year or so? Won't be like this for much longer will it?

I hope so. The $ is getting slightly better now. This credit crunch may do us some favours in that respect (dont really understand the economy enough hehe).
But I think its always a neat idea to offer a currency converter. Some billers do it automatically now.

Funny you mention that. John McCain (who is running for president) said pretty much the same thing!

Yeah I saw that. What a thing for a potential President to say. Its 50/50 as to whether there will be a world recession and he doesn't get the economy LOL
