          ICM contends the "xxx" Web addresses, which it plans to sell for $60 a year, will protect children from online smut if adult sites voluntarily adopt the suffix so filtering software used by families can more effectively block access to those sites.

          The $60 price is roughly ten times higher than prices other companies charge for dot-com names.

          "It will further help to protect kids," said John Morris, staff counsel at the Washington-based Center for Democracy and Technology. Morris predicted some adult sites will choose to buy "xxx" Web addresses but others will continue to use dot-com.

                                      Since its been discussed ad nauseam in the other 35479839er threads on it, let me just say this is a joke.
