It’s 32 Degrees Farenhiet in Hell, Pigs are Flying all over the Place and Wild bears are Shitting in the Ocean:

That’s right I am PRAISING the Free Speech Coalition! In a resounding defeat of 6-2 the board voted AGAINST support of the .xxx top level domain. I am told the two yes votes were from Walters and Piconelli, both attorneys with the most to gain from its passage. Thankfully cooler and less avaricious heads prevailed and even though the FSC stood to get a substantial amount of money from each domain sold, the board did the right thing and sent Jason “The Snake” Hendales and ICM Registry back to Canada empty handed.

I have been critical of the FSC in the past but today they get nothing but my highest praise. I hope that this marks a turning point for the FSC and that they will fix some of their past problems and turn themselves into an organization that we can all support and be proud of.

I apologize for not having this up sooner but I was shooting today….Besides I gotta let AVN get a scoop every now and then 😉

Tim Writes:

Old Buddy, you carry a BIG FUCKING STICK. You may not know it, but you do. I was there when you dressed down Hendales and Piconelli in Miami. I am absolutely convinced that you had more influence on the FSC vote today than any other ten people combined. I know that had I been on that board I would not have wanted to explain a yes vote to you. You get it. Thank you for standing up and telling it like it is. The powers in the Valley may not admit it but they all read your site and they all see the common sense approach that you take. It is very hard to argue with common sense. Keep screaming my friend, they hear you.

Wow, Thanks man, I can’t take credit for the vote today but I can promise you that I will never back down when I believe I am right. I love this industry and the people in it and I love the people who read my site. I am not always right, by any stretch, but I write with my heart here, and I certainly have a right to be wrong. Thanks Again Tim, and thanks to all of you for letting me into your head, right or wrong I appreciate the fact that you read me.

The Future of .xxx May be Decided Tonight.

Jason “The Snake” Hendales from ICM Registry in Canada is going to propose to ICANN the adoption of a new .xxx top level domain. I have chronicled this in earlier pieces here. Tonight the Free Speech Coalition board will vote on this proposal. The fate of the .xxx domain jst may lie in their hands. Without the FSC support it seems likely that ICANN will again reject the .xxx domain idea as they did once before. With the support of the FSC, it is believed that the idea has a chance. So much so that ICM registries has offered the FSC “renumeration” in the amount of a substantial percentage of the revenue, I’m not talking single or even low double digits, I’m talking as much as half.

To those in the FSC who are more beholden to the almighty dollar this seems like a great way to line their pockets.

To those in the FSC who are concerned about the welfare of the adult industry this seems like a great way to zone ourselves into a cyber ghetto.

I urge the FSC to reject this unholy alliance and send Jason and ICM Registry packing.

As soon as I know the results of the vote, I will post it here.
