Just what we need. Pope porn. It's probably just a bunch of old dudes sitting around beating the bishop.

That's their excuse for everything. Molester priests? Clerical error. The trial of Galileo? Clerical error. The Great Schism? Clerical Error.

I can't believe that the web's been around since approximately 1994 and no one thought of the .xxx thing until now.

/also still can't believe anyone goes anywhere to pay money for porn

Personally, I'm glad the Vatican didn't end up with that domain name. There's enough kiddy porn out there already without having the Pope posting more.

The idea's been floating around since then, but there have been arguments against it the whole time. Anti-pornography people consider it a legitimatizing of pornography while pornographers didn't want to be ghettoized.

Also, how does one misuse vatican.xxx? It seems like letting the Vatican own it just to point it to vatican.va would be the real misuse.

I wonder if vaticanse.cx is taken.

It was suggested several times, and was quickly shot down as the terrible idea that it is. Now the authorities have finally said "fark it, DNS is dying anyway so let's grab some more cash while we can".

Anyone want to chip in a few bucks to help Drew buy a .fark TLD (new window)?

/going the other way with a certified-porn-free ".kids", ".prudes", or something might have worked.

Actually I pitched the idea about ten years ago to a 'netnanny' type service. So that you could disable a childs ability to access it just by the .xxx tag.

yeah I know, cool story bro, im just saying if I thought of it probably fifty thousand other people had the same idea, its just a wonder it took this long to actually happen.

Also I think it would be fun to have a sign up list of catholics to go beat the living snot out of anyone who registers the vatican.xxx for gay porn. Or as they call it on the left.....occupy the gay porn content office.

Catholics don't need to sign up to occupy gay porn sites. They're usually there or there abouts.

That would only work if all porn sites used that tag. Many won't.

Oh please. It's not going to be Pope porn. The old man can't get it up anymore. He can barely even walk and you think he'll be making the beast with 2 backs?

No. Someone is going to open a child pornography website on vatican.xxx

/probably a priest.
//So it will be alter boy gay porn.

It's actually been proposed several times. I-Conn just get around to it until now.

Only 21 comments? And here I was figuring that an article like this was ripe for Fark trolling.

In the end you will find only respectable businesses and schools on .xxx and all the porn sites will stay where they are in .com.

"...many other organizations including companies, universities and museums, registered the xxx domain to prevent its misuse."

Do said organizations really think people are that stupid? Do they really think that someone's going to see companyname.xxx and go "Oh my god, (company name) is involved with pornography!" And of the people who actually would be that stupid, so what? Just because someone thinks they're right doesn't mean they are.

Go to Youtube. Open a video. Any video. Read the comments. Now ask yourself if people really are that stupid.

Touche', but I maintain that just because someone thinks they're right does not make them right. People who fly airliners into high-rise buildings think they're right too
