Are we gonna run out of horny bastards with credit cards?
Let's say for argument's sake that there are 60,000 new credit card signups a day (this was debated in a recent thread. that seems to be a fairly common middle ground guess).
You've got to figure 90% of our sales are men aged 18-50, right? That eliminates quite a lot of the world's population.
Then take out the people who don't even have computers. Hell, I heard that over 50% of the population in the world has never even made a telephone call. So don't give me any of that billions of potential customers...
60,000 signups a day for the last 7 years would mean we've gone through 150 million customers.
So by my calculations...the last customer will buy a membership on October 12th, 2004. There isn't much time, people...save your money.
