Porn Sites get their own Domain

Having a domain '.xxx' reserved for porn sites sounds like a good idea, right? Not according to some. ICANN, the agency that oversees domain naming, has delayed approving the domain due to heavy opposition. WHAT? These protesters, who claim they want to "protect the children", are against segregating porn sites? They believe it implies embracement and acceptance of pornography. Come on. We all know there is wide spread approval of porn(due to heavy internet traffic), they just want to keep their blinders on and pretend it will go away. Last I heard these sites are legal anyway (for the most part, I assume). Who are they to have a say in how legal operations name their websites?

Having a reserved domain name for porn will allow folks to more easily avoid the sites (or find them as it may be) if desired. It is true that the naming will be voluntary and that some in the porn industry may still have other domain names, but I expect most will want to use the '.xxx' domain. In the bare minimum (pun intended) it will keep you (er, somebody else) from accidentally typing in a porn site at work. I've personally seen colleagues try to guess a vendor's website name only to have unexpected results. Do I need to spell out what happened when I tried to get to Dick's Sporting Goods website by guessing the name?

While we are at it, how about '.spam'?

That really boils my blood.
