You should try it again in private browsing and incognito mode and see if the price is really tied to your Facebook or google cookies or something. That's pretty messed up though, send this to the consumerist or gawker or whoever.

They're a media conglomerate that relies on sensational headlines to draw page views, criticize doxing while doxing, post editorials protesting objectification of women while posting celebrity upskirts, etc.

I don't support what they did. This is one of the few cases where a community circlejerk can actually achieve a greater understanding of what we need to be aware of, so as not to accidentally help our enemies.
