.XXX Approved! A red light district for the internet

A few days ago, ICANN -- the quasi-government corporation that oversees the internets naming and numbering system, approved the .XXX top level domain. .XXX will operate much like .COM does now -- meaning it will be a domain name people can type into their browsers to take them to a website -- but similar to the way .GOV is reserved for governmental organizations, .XXX will be reserved for pornographic or adult content websites

    I've been following this whole .xxx thing and have learned a lot.
    Very interesting. I've written a tongue in cheek response to it all. It may be good for a laugh if you have time.
    Peace
