Seems every year or two some company comes up with this... Maybe one of them will finally stick?

 

[huesmann]

WTF is this? What kind of domain can you get?

Can I register something like damn.you.for.making.me.spend.all.my.money.on.hot.deals?

 

[Insomniac]

Do they teach you how to edit you /etc/hosts file?

So, do they have .xxx? Or better yet, .sex?

Seriously, tho, an entire "shadow" domain system has already been working for years:

The first person who ever had a telephone or even a fax machine said the same thing. Now everyone has them. To paraphrase George Gilder, it's the early adaptors who get the worm! Nevertheless, this analogy may not be accurate since the competition (.com, .net, etc) is already entrenched and no one wants another .something or other. Maybe if it the new extension was .spam I'd be interested.Text
