Back in the day, I worked at an ISP and found that network solutions owned fuck.com and wouldn't sell it to anyone because it was deemed "offensive".
this was only in the year 2000 mind you....
I argued with a guy on the phone for a while, and almost got him to sell it to me, but then he noticed that it was blocked and he couldn't.

I asked him about some others, and he said he could let me register "Ifuckedyourdeadgrandmother.com" and "shitfuckcockdamn.com" but he couldn't register "fuck.com" because it was deemed offensive. I didn't register those names, but it was more to prove a point.

A few years later, someone actually managed to buy it. but I was THIS close. would have been nice..... True Story.
