Hat tip to Compatible Poker for posting this video of the Director of the Division of Addiction at the Harvard School of Medicine saying that he doesn’t think banning online gaming is a good idea and how now that they can track online gambling habits many assumptions researches had about gambling addiction have been proven wrong.

You can’t be serious

In the photo below at a BMW dealership near my apartment you can see the price being asked for this 5 Series BMW is £36,795.

BMW 5 Series

At today’s exchange rate of $1.99 to the pound that puts this car at $73,222. Now, a quick check on Edmunds.com for ZIP code 90292 (Marina del Rey, CA) and the base price of this car ranges from $44,300 – $58,500. With no particular special features listed on the vehicle and if we assume this is the top of the line 550i (I couldn’t see the rear of the vehicle for the specific model) we’re talking a minimum 25% premium over prices in Marina del Rey. If it’s the base model (which is most likely) it’s a 65% premium.
