		<title>Happy Birthday, .XXX &#8212; Too Bad Nobody Likes You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ideally, a birth is a joyful event worth celebrating; whether it be the birth of a living creature or an idea. The tragic reality is that many births are less than enthusiastically welcomed. The December 6, 2011 birth of .XXX is a sad case in point. Other than ICM Registry, who is genuinely excited &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sorry, ICM Registry &#8212; Manwin&#8217;s Just Not That Into You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Look, ICM Registry&#8230; Stuart&#8230; I know I&#8217;ve said some harsh things about you in the past&#8230; and I&#8217;ve meant them. Still do, actually, but I also feel compelled to give you some advice. I know I am not currently richer than my wildest dreams of avarice (which are pretty wild) and I&#8217;ve neither conquered Tokyo [...]]]></description>

		<title>Manwin &amp; Digital Playground Officially Distrust ICM Registry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thursday was Thanksgiving in the US and the adult entertainment industry has something ironic to be thankful for: ICM Registry is being sued in the hopes of its .XXX TLD effectively being declared an antitrust crime scene. As those who have been following along may recall, ICM Registry is the company that forced the .XXX [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome To Dot-XXX Opposition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Upon first blush, a .xxx sTLD sounds like a brilliant idea. But once one factors in the real world implications of such an easily blocked, censored, marginalized, and manipulated domain suffix, it becomes far less appealing. When a business with no ties to the online adult entertainment industry decides to “protect” it by cornering the market, [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Not to be Fleeced by ICM Registry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I keep reading press releases and articles about how fabulous it is for the adult entertainment industry that ICM Registry is making the kind of bank on domain sales that has not been seen since the initial .com virtual land rush. $500,000 for a .XXX domain? $200,000? We&#8217;re not even talking about the huge investment [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wham, Bam, Thank You Ma&#8217;am</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everybody&#8217;s favorite reason to hate .XXX (aka Stuart Lawley) has had a lot to say about how those of us who work and play within the adult entertainment industry don&#8217;t know what we&#8217;re talking about when we talk about the adult entertainment industry. Or the internet. Or marketing our product. Or much of anything else, [...]]]></description>

		<title>ICM Speedboats its Message to the Masses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry to vanish for so long and leave you update-less. While it gives me great joy to point at the feet of clay that ICM Registry lurches throughout the globe on, it doesn&#8217;t pay the bills, so I&#8217;ve had to be Capitalistic in my own adult industry kinda way. You know, by actually working with [...]]]></description>

		<title>ICM Registry + McAfee = With Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemas?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no secret that porn depends upon social stereotypes and cliches for much of its power. It&#8217;s not that we actually believe that our hot secretary, smoldering boss, sexy babysitter, studly frat boy friend, or neighborhood Officer Friendly secretly yearns to take us or give themselves over entirely to our deepest, most secret, sexual desires.

		<title>Freshly Hired, Freshly Fired: the .XXX Body Count Begins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems like it was only the beginning of May when ICM Registry proudly announced the hiring of industry veterans Chris Lebrun and Pete Housley as its sales team. That&#8217;s because it was. It seems like it wasn&#8217;t even the end of May when ICM Registry and Lebrun split the sheets and went their separate [...]]]></description>

		<title>.XXX Pre-Registration: The Shakedown Begins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has begun &#8212; and who, except for everyone, anticipated that it would begin like this? And by &#8220;this,&#8221; I naturally mean with a feverish money grab into the pockets of anyone and everyone with a trademark to defend. Talk about making decisions with a financial gun to our head! Whether you don&#8217;t want a [...]]]></description>
