Users Outraged At Non-Porn Domain Typos
December 6, 2005

CARBONDALE, ILLINOIS -- College student Jacque
Johnson was getting ready to show his buddies the new
XXX website he had found. But instead of being
greeted by the fine specimens of BobsHouseOfT-and-A-
HotChicksUnlimitedXXX.com, he was horrified to see a
"Say No To Sex" website produced by a church group.

"Where the hell's my porn?!?" he demanded as his
friends starting laughing. He then realized that he
had typed four X's instead of three. "See, it's just
a typo!" he frantically tried to explain.

However, on the second attempt, another deceptive
non-porn site appeared: the 'American Association
Always Advocating Abstinence'. Their domain has two
X's instead of three.

"Boy did I feel like a fool," he said later. "My
friends will never let me live this one down."

Johnson isn't the first outraged web surfer to become
embarrased by the latest trend in domain squatting:
mundane sites trying to capitalize on the traffic and
mindshare of porn.

"All's fair in love and sex," said one domain
squatter promoting a website featuring a 'What Would
Jesus Wear?' line of designer clothing. "Since 90% of
the Web is porn, this makes perfect sense."

Attempts to fight back against the domain abuse have
been fruitless. One advocate wrote their congressmen
about the injustice, only to be greeted the next week
by FBI agents armed with a search warrant to look for
illegal drugs.

"We received intelligence that you have been smoking
something," the lead investigator said. "I mean,
anybody who would write a letter demanding that
Congress pass a law making it easier to access porn
is obviously high on something! That's why we're
here."

Sending bark letters to the domain squatters hasn't
worked either. Retorted one slimeball, "You can't
sue us! By visiting our website, you immediately
agree to the terms of our End Supplicant License
Agreement, which requires that you pay us a US$1.5
trillion penalty if you ever file a lawsuit against
us for any reason at any time throughout the
Universe. And since you have no way of knowing that
we exist until you visit our website, you're
screwed!"

One developer, fed up with the growing number of typo
scams, is fighting back with a proxy system that
warns users when they access a G-rated website.

"When you try to pull up a site that isn't R- or
X-rated, the system politely issues a warning that
you may have made a mistake," explained programmer
Wayne Kerr. "This gives users a chance to
double-check their URLs or bookmarks before they come
face-to-face with something horrifying, such as the
Kansas State Board of Education website."

He added, "Finally, I've found a practical use for
censorship!"
