Idiots!

We'll start with the article for a change.

Acknowledging "unprecedented" opposition, the U.S. government has asked the Internet's key oversight agency to delay approval of a new ".xxx" domain name designed as a virtual red-light district.

Michael D. Gallagher, assistant secretary for communications and information at the Commerce Department, stopped short of urging its rejection, but he called on the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers to "ensure the best interests of the Internet community as a whole are fully considered."

The department received nearly 6,000 letters and e-mails expressing concerns about the impact of pornography on families and children and objecting to setting aside a domain suffix for it, he said. .....

Conservative groups such as the Family Research Council also expressed worries that creating a ".xxx" suffix would also legitimize pornographers.

Idiots.

We've all seen the stats, 30-40% of internet traffic is porn, and there is no better way to quickly set up some blocks than this .xxx suffix. 6,000 letters is a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the letter writing campaigns the FRC has organized in the past.

Oh, yes, and I'm sure that by attempting to block the easiest and most effective short term solution to kids 'n' porn, the porn industry will become delegitimized and will promptly go out of business.

Christian Idiots.
