    Also let's not forget about how almost-vice-president Sen. Joseph
    Lieberman goes around talking about a .xxx top-level domain:

    This presents an interesting conundrum for the DOC-ICANN MoU,
    notwithstanding the pesky issue of who gets to determin what content is
    "kids-safe"--and how.
    
    Consider:
    *  ICANN rejected four .KIDs applications in its new TLD process
    
    *  New Net launched a .KIDS in its first round of alternative TLDs
    
    *  A .KIDS TLD already exists in the parallel root server system
    http://root-dns.org/VueDig/VueDig_tld.php?record=NS&tld=kids&submit=Submit
    
    All hail Internet "stability".
