Dot Sexy, Perfect for the SEX IndustrY

Sex Industry -- get it? A new domain name gTLD extension that is short, memorable, pronounceable, and full of opportunities for enhanced competition, consumer choice and innovation!

Every pimp, every prostitute, can have his or her own domain name and of course it can be used for almost any purpose (just remember to not have pornography on the landing page). This is apparently what ICANN wanted when it decided to forget about operating in the public interest, and flood the market with hundreds to thousands of new domain name extensions, particularly the ones in English, since most of the original 22 gTLDs are extremely underutilized. Of course ICANN is collecting its take -- millions of dollars in new fees, while ignoring the disastrous consequences of its misguided and ill-conceived new gTLD program. Yeah, I guess mindlessly expanding opportunities for cybercrime, trademark infringement, etc., is what ICANN considers "enhancing competition, consumer choice and innovation."

In-Depth Report Details Economics of Sex Trade - NYTimes.com: ".... As other studies have shown, the Internet has had a profound effect on the sex economy. Half of respondents advertised online. One in four recruited employees through sites like Craigslist and Backpage. Most sex transactions were once negotiated on the streets, the study found, but most are now arranged online, where rates are significantly higher...."

Just think, thanks to ICANN's new gTLD program, the sex industry globally is now ready to take off with enhanced competition, consumer choice and innovation!
