ICANN rejects .xxx domains
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has rejected a proposed .xxx domain for pornographic websites. This is the third time ICANN has shot the idea down.The proposal had faced opposition from adult-entertainment groups who feared it would ghettoize their sites, and also from religious organizations who were concerned that the domain would lead to more porn sites on the internet (would that even be possible?)
The proposal is being pushed by ICM Registry LLC, a Florida company that wants to oversee registration of .xxx sites. ICANN voted 9-5 to reject the measure.

I'm glad they shot this idea down. I'd say the same thing if the KKK wanted to add a .kkk domain. Same applies to other situations I believe to be wholly immoral.
