    Funny how they've blown the price up by $500K.

                      It makes you have serious doubts about the credibility of any stats and numbers the media puts out to us and the government's numbers too I just don't have much faith in.

                      A lot of people don't even realize most statistics are extrapolated from a small survey. Sometimes they'll talk to 10,000 people and if 60% say they are against porn, the next thing you see in the news being quoted is 60% of all Americans are against porn.

                      Think about it. How many people here or do you know that have ever been asked a question in a survey? I know I never have. I can't think of anyone I know that has ever.

                          LOL, but when they are making presidential polls, then the results are pretty close.
                          It doesn't matter if you or your friends participated in a survey.
                          They simply ask people from different locations, different race, different levels of education, different financial status and then they get the replies and they scale them.
                          I don't use ICQ anymore.

                            Yeah, the media is terrible... they're biast, but also inflate alot of numbers and blow them out of proportion.

                              Heh, i was going to point out that SMH was an Australian website, and that it must have been AU$1.8m, but i just noticed the paragraph:

                              <i>The market for domain names certainly influenced his decision, Maddox said, pointing to the recent sale of Men.com for $US1.8 million ($2.4 million).</i>

                              iIdiots.
                              26 + 6 = 1
