I like how the adult industry has sided with the religious group saying it will cause more pornography on the Internet. It would probably would.

There's no slippery slope here, in case anyone's not clear on that - the namespace will remain optional. I didn't think this would ever get through, precisely because it's a useless naming convention promoted by christians who are deluded enough to think it'll make porn easier to marginalize.

I heard them trying this years ago and thought it would be a good idea.

Still do.

I think it's a good idea, it will allow me to tell the difference between a site about bears, and a site about bears.

[sausage]

You mean it gets the red light.

I too, hate it when I'm looking for pics and vids of fat, hairy, homosexual men getting down and dirty, and all that the search results come up with is bloody Kodiaks and Grizzlies :(

A slippery slope to what? The internet is already comprised of pure distilled porn, with a clever disguise of all the other stuff pulled on like a wolf getting his sheep on. It's not going to get any worse.

[REQUIEM]

It's not going to get any worse.

That statement is correct IMO.

[Vindik8or]

Thanks, man.

I meant we're definitely not gonna see less pr0nz.

Whew! Thank Christ for that. I'm a tolerant man, but threaten my lesbian bukkake and I may do something rash.

I'm going to buy www.se.xxx

Seems pretty trivial. I'd like to hear the explanation for how it will increase the amount of porn on the web though.

[sausage]

Even without the .xxx the fact that the world population is growing would suggest there will be a increase anyway.

Infinity +1 > infinity?

(I'm aware that it is not)

Add in the emergence of porn's sleeping giants, India and China, and the fappage curve can only really go one way.

[texta]

The analogy I'd use is that if porn sites were marbles then adding the .xxx is a bit like getting a second jar to keep them in. You might have two jars of marbles instead of one, but you don't have any more marbles.

3D is what's really gonna give this whole porn thing legs.

[sausage]

And vaginas.
