I love this from the FRC:

The porn industry suffered a partial, yet major defeat yesterday when the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers again delayed approving the .XXX domain. We understand the Internet's governing agency has been under "overwhelming pressure" by opponents. That comes as no surprise to us. In fact, FRC led the opposition. The porn industry has all but dominated the Internet for a dozen years and we can see no reason to reward it with even more space. Instead we have called for a "get tough" approach by the Department of Justice against those who distribute illegal pornography on the Internet in violation of U.S. law. We will continue also to oppose the .XXX domain until ICANN, perhaps at the insistence of the U.S. Commerce Department, kills off this foolish idea. Yesterday, USA Today published FRC's senior legal counsel's op-ed on the .XXX domain. Click the link below to read the op-ed.

(be advised, the author of the op-ed is Patrick Trueman, senior legal counsel at the conservative Family Research Council)
