Once again we are being subjected to the BIG debate over whether or not there should be a XXX (.xxx) domain. Does this debate need to go on and on?

Question:
Do you, the people of the world, want to segregate all porn sites under one domain or not?

Hell, if you ask me, why not? I have no problem with this sort of action. This will make it much easier for us to control what our youngsters are able to see and not able to see when it comes to porn. I am 100% behind kids not seeing any of my pornographic sites.

But, it goes without saying that this debate is always accompanied by the worry of the adult webmaster like me. Will I loose rights to my current domain which is a .com? Will they charge outrageous fees for XXX domains as was proposed?

Well if the system is implemented properly, then the worries should be limited. Just want to make the point the amount of time I have spent on research into this issue is minimal at best. Here is my short proposal.

1. Guaranteed XXX Domains to all Pornographic Owners…
All owners of any current domains which are pornographic in nature are automatically granted rights to accept the new domain .com.xxx. This means if I currently own a .com pornographic domain such as mydomain.com, I would automatically receive rights to mydomain.com.xxx for exactly 1 year. Here is how this would work:

mydomain.com = mydomain.com.xxx

mydomain.net = mydomain.net.xxx

mydomain.org = mydomain.org.xxx

mydomain.biz = mydomain.biz.xxx

and so on…

If I fail to purchase the new domain within 1 year, I loose all rights to the new domain.

2. Ability to Retain Current Domain Rights…
I would be able to continue to purchase and use the domain I currently own. I will be able to use it for porn for exactly 1 year. After that year is up, if I do not remove all pornographic content from that domain, I would be subjected to fine of some type or loss of domain rights. To avoid fine or loss of domain rights, I would have to have all pornographic content removed or the domain redirected to the new domain.

This route also enables me to keep rank within the search engines, by using a 301 permanent redirect on the current domain to the new domain. Especially since the top search engines are already implementing a standard procedure which the destination domain of a redirect is the domain of choice when directing their users from the search results.

3. Make the Price Right…
Do not make the price $60 for each .xxx domain plus what the registrar adds on top of that. Total BS! If you want to avoid acceptance resistance, this system cannot be implemented in this fashion. Make it a fair price of no more that of the current standards. Or a potentially a slightly higher fee ($15) the first year with a guaranteed reduction after the first year. I suggest this higher fee to help supplement the administrative costs involved with the domain transitions to the new system.

There still remains one big problem. Who will monitor the web to make sure that non-xxx domains are keeping their end of the bargain and not using pornographic material on these domains? I am not really sure, but I suggest all those with image recognition software to start concentrating on this area. Again, there can be fines implemented to help reduce the issues related to this. Plus, the loss of domain rights should help to deter people from as well. Also, what about the public helping in the monitoring?

Then the question arises, what is exactly defined as pornographic? I guess we could use the legislation proposed last summer for this one, but it is a US law not international.

These are just a few of my thoughts; let me know what you think…

Tomorrow is the big game folks! Are you ready?

On the way home from work yesterday, I was listening to NPR and learned something extremely fascinating. The Super Bowl in all of its existense has never been the most watch TV show in history. It was the final episode of what show?

Okay, hint one, the year was 1983.

Hint two, Alan Alda.

That is right folks. M*A*S*H’s final episode was the most watched TV show of all time cranking in an audience of 125 million viewers. Not one SuperBowl has ever come close.

I feel that this year has a damn good chance. Here is why…

The Steelers. The Real America’s Team. Not the Dallas Cowboys. No team has a following or more dedicated fans than the Pittsburgh Steelers. Name one major city where there isn’t a Steelers Bar. We shall see.

Less than one hour away… infamous Ground Hog Day… the day that Punxsutawney, PA shines like no other. Will that fury little fuck see his shadow or not. GHD has got to be the absolute epitome rinky-dink holidays. Hell, is it even considered a holiday?

I would love to know whose grandiose idea this was, BUT from what I have heard, if you make that trek up to Punxsy, you will absolutely love it. There is nothing quite like freezing your ass off and getting lit. Oh wait, isn’t supposed to be sunning yourself and getting lit.

Great photo of a ground hog!

Well, I hope the little fury bastard sees his shadow? Is that right?

I plan on keeping the blog rolling this time. If I don’t then, it will be the last time it occurs. Shit happens. Plain and simple. I have so many wonderous ideas it is really easy for me to get side-tracked.

Out of the blog, I hope to better my writing skills out of this venture, maybe shed some light even though no one is reading this, and lastly hope to get you a great deal on some porn vids, sex dolls and hell maybe even get you to join some quality porn sites!

Let’s see what happens.
