Legislative panel considers allowing .sex as a valid domain
June 26th, 2008
Soon to be followed by .duh
According to CNN http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/06/25/domain.names/index.html
Apparently the most sought after domain name in this new land grab is going to be “dot.sex”
The least popular? I’m not sure, but my prediction: “ionlyhave.sex”
First I thought I was ambivalent about this decision, but then I was in two minds about that initial thought as well. It may help the adult industry find more available domain names, but more than likely all of the speculators looking to turn a buck will be camping the Registrars like only an ex-everquest player could do and buy chunks of domains that relate to the major players in the adult world.
If they’re smart, instead of doing a first come first served virtual land grab, they should auction the domains themselves a la ebay (ooo ebay.sex! - lawsuit waiting to happen!), themselves.

I need to run register deafgirlsex.sex since I’m already a leader in that field according to google.
I think it will make things easier on firewalls.
/block *.sex
but with redirectors, and other chicanery going on, I don’t think it really matters. I could have a .com point to a .sex really easily, and vice versa.
A rose is still a rose by any other name, and a horse porn site is still a horse porn site.

“and a horse porn site is still a horse porn site.”
I think the jury is still “hung” on that LMAO.
