Your wet dreams are set to suffer another setback as Sarah Palin, Barack Obama and Beyonce have been excluded from the porny .xxx domain by the registry manager, ICM Registry. The list of VIPs is long, perhaps in the thousands.
In fact, ICM claims they have locked 15,000 .xxx domains. They are not only celebrities, but also domains that could have been offensive—like cities or religious figures like Mohammed—and some premium names that they want to auction later.
The celebrities include politicians like Sarah Palin and Barack Obama, musicians like Beyonce and Lady Gaga, or actors like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. It even has dead celebrities like Amy Winehouse and Marilyn Monroe—or celebrities who have returned to their native planets after their stay on Earth, like Elvis.
The list doesn't stop in potentially sexy celebrities. It also includes horrors like Osama Bin Laden and Justin Bieber.
The company is planning to cash extra on corporations. While people would be able to register their domains for $100, companies who want their names excluded from the internet's red light district would have to pay between $200 to $650. Well played, ICM, well played. [The Registry via Slashdot]
