This whole "buy your .XXX domain to protect your business/image" thing is a complete racket right? Extortion in the purest sense. You know who's going to profit wildly from this? The Mafia. This sets them up for the classic protection scheme, I'm certain that right now, there's a group of old school guido's trying to get their nephew or grandson to show them how to use the internet so they can start gobbling up .xxx domains, and you know what, it's brilliant. You buy the domain, you put up some questionable material, and then you sell it back to the subject. It's like this whole new world of the internet was just invented for extortion purposes. I mean, how much do you think one of those Christ loving Walton family members would pay to get their domain back? You could be rolling in Wal-Mart family money just for registering a few websites. There's like 5 Walton heirs, figure $500k per person, some aspiring entrepenuer could make $2.5 million by lunch today.
And yes, I know the people of .XXX have built in some protections around popular companies and stars, reserving certain domains (for instance you cannot just go out and buy LindsayLohan.XXX, but luckily it probably won't be long before she populates that one herself), but there's no way they've thought of everyone and everything, its just impossible...and you're crazy if you don't think I just spent 45 minutes testing various .xxx domains just to see what's available (a quick check of my recent search history will turn up some weird stuff right now, the perils of running this blog I suppose).
Bank of America...Available - Careful with those fees you're just haphazardly tossing out there guys. You thought the media backlash was bad the last time around, that was before someone registered a porn site in your name.
Lebron James and Dwayne Wade, not available....Chris Bosh: Available. - Told you my search history would look pretty weird. I mean how ostracized can Chris Bosh feel (I find it ironic to describe Bosh as ostracized, because he looks like an ostrich). He already pretty much knew that he was just the third wheel here, but this really must cement it. Lebron and D-Wade sleeping comfortably at night, knowing that no one is conspiring to buy their .XXX domain and publish all kinds of weird things, meanwhile Chris Bosh has to worry about some nutjob out there buying his domain and posting all kinds of Ostrich-fornication related videos (not that I'm searching for that or anything). It must be humiliating.
George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson...Protected. www.Tedyroosevelt.xxx - Not. - Shit just got real awkward up on Mount Rushmore. Sure, theodoreroosevelt.xxx is protected, but no one who knew Tedy ever called him Theodore. Imagine how red his face will be the first time Abe pulls up Tedy's newly founded porn domain.
