Is this a joke?

The US is to start charging UK travellers nearly £10 to apply for permission to enter the country.
From September 8, people will have to pay 14 dollars (£9) to use the compulsory Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (Esta). Of the fee, 10 dollars will apparently go to a fund to promote US tourism with four dollars covering administration. |

not only UK travellers. I think that it is for all travellers... (at least this is also true for french travellers too)
Edit : article mentions "It applies to 35 countries with US "visa waiver" status, and replaced the green I-94 card which passengers used to fill in on their flight to the US." : They will get a lot of money to promote tourism !!
