What the world's crappiest pizza costs 'round the world

In case you've ever wondered how much you'll be paying if you order a pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut in various villes around the world ...

A small chart in yesterday's Wall Street Journal - page D3, subscription required to view complete chart - provided the price for one large Pizza Hut pan-crust pizza with pepperoni, averaged and converted to the nearest U.S. dollar, in the following cities:

Manilla, $6.58
Jakarta, 7.95
Sydney, 8.93
Bangkok, 10.74
Shanghai, 13.81
Singapore, 15.46
Tokyo, 17.99
Seoul, 18.39
Brussels, 20.81
London, 27.89
Paris, 27.60

I gotta tell you, any American who travels to France and visits a Pizza Hut - nay, any American who travels to France, visits Pizza Hut, and pays $27 for a pizza therein - should be slapped three times and have his or her nether region stuffed with les hors d'oeuvres escargots de Bourgogne.
