Prepaid cards that unlock one of the raunchiest X-rated sites on the Internet are being peddled by bodegas and newsstands across the city - even to underage kids, the Daily News has learned.

On Scarborough Country last night, Tracy Connor talked about how she broke the story. transcripts here

Joe, the crack interviewer that he is, asked this riveting question.

SCARBOROUGH: And why would somebody go out and buy these porn cards? What is the attraction of them?

Well Joe, the answer is, it's porn!

CONNOR: Well, normally, you have got to give your credit card information to get on to an Internet pornography site.

Penny Nance of the Kids First Coalition had some choice words for Peter Shankman, spokesman for the Pre-Paid Porn Card

SCARBOROUGH: Penny, did you call—is it true that you called these people in the pre-interview scum-sucking bottom-feeders?

NANCE: Hey, I might have said that, but I meant it in the nicest way possible.

SHANKMAN: I have yet to see—I have yet to—I‘m sorry. I didn‘t interrupt while you were calling me a scum-sucking bottom-feeder.

Happy Holidays

This holiday season, credit card companies are giving the gift of unexpectedly high interest rates. According to an exhaustive report in The New York Times, credit card companies are doubling or tripling interest rates with little warning or explanation, forcing thousands of Americans to pay unreasonable and unwarrantedly higher bills. The slightest slip--like paying a utility bill late--can lead to a rate hike, with card companies "acting like modern-day loan sharks," writes The Times. Halliburton isn't the only one overcharging America.

Spamers join in on the Christian bandwagon!

Did anyone else get this email:

Jesus wants you to save, Refinance now the Christian way!

Homeowners! Less-than-perfect credit? Average credit? GREAT Credit? Your credit score doesn't matter!

A quick NO Obligation Quote from USA Christian Mortgages is the answer.

We'll match you up with the BEST provider based on YOUR NEEDS, and we will do it the Christian Way, using only Chritian Lending Principles.

I know it's spam, but what exactly are Christian lending principles?

I mean I really respect Christian values, I've played music at Sunday masses and have had a great time, but what's next with these guys, Christian gun shops?...you know.."we'll sell you a shot gun the Christian way." Christian credit cards....
