Cripes
Just $20? Do they deliver?
Edit: I happen to know up Newcastle way they cost at least £40, even for a fat one. Just don't ask me HOW I know

it was a bank in Lebanon
so it's not quite so ridiculous, I suppose.
It makes me laugh when you see online forms asking you what country you're in and there are countries on the list where there are only 3 internet enabled computers and they're all probably owned by the security services.
