How much does El Reg cost the global economy?Putting a price on Vulture CentralPublished Friday 7th December 2007 09:02 GMT Reader poll Our recent shock revelation that Xmas boozing costs the UK economy a cool £790m due to shattered, post-piss-up employees crashing out under their desks or puking their guts up in mission-critical strategy meetings attracted the following provocative comment:
Well, this got us thinking: if we did a survey to calculate exactly Vulture Central's impact on the global economy, we could then offer our entire operation to, say, the US government for that amount, close down the site and all go and get royally rat-arsed for the next 20 years on the proceeds. True, you lot would have to look elsewhere for your Paris Hilton and iPhone exclusives, but business is business. Accordingly, please tell us how much time you spend each day reading El Reg when you should be working, and we'll do the maths. ® 47 comments posted — Comment period finished On what basisPosted: 09:23 7th December 2007 Meaningless PollPosted: 09:26 7th December 2007 easyPosted: 09:37 7th December 2007 Yes ManPosted: 09:41 7th December 2007 Also need to factor in pay ratePosted: 09:58 7th December 2007
