I think the main theme of my blog should be changed to Stupidity. There just seems to be an overwhelming proliferation of stupidity in our country. The latest addition to our collection stems from none other than the leader of all morons in this country, our very own President.
For those of you who aren't aware, ICANN has proposed creating a new top level domain (.xxx) which would be used for, you guessed it...porn. It is a way for the internet community to differentiate adult pornographic sites from commercial domains, which in turn would hopefully make it a little easier to block and filter porn at all levels in any organization. Overall, a pretty good thing you would think right?
Well, it seems that the Bush Administration is pressuring ICANN to put a halt on creating this new TLD. The genius bible thumpers of America somehow concluded that creating this TLD would lead to a "flood of porn in our homes." Are these people that stupid? Apparently the answer is a resounding yes. Having lived right smack in the middle of the bible belt in a conservative republican town (Jacksonville, FL) for 4 years, I can tell you that these folks and this mentality is out there in full force. They are usually techno-phobes and have no clue about technology or what is good for the industry, yet they are the very decision makers passing judgement and legislation. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Follow the link below to Search Engine Journal for the more on this story...
