Europeans Can't Get Enough Sex.eu

from the must-be-all-those-tv-ads dept

More than 100,000 applications were filed on the first day of registrations for the Euro-centric .eu domains, with "sex.eu" the most sought-after name. Surely this is what the forefathers of the European Union had in mind: not a common economic market or free trade and passage, but sexual content from around the continent united under a single domain. Now, if the .xxx TLD ever comes back, will there be a rush on europe.xxx?

    Nothing like handing out your business card with your name on it, and under it, for your website, it reads great.xxx, or greatsex.xxx. Hehe, that would get a laugh. It even rhymes if you say it as "Great Sex (dot) Triple XXX!"

    Is this suprising in the slightest? I don't see how it could be.

    Is it also a shocker that the second most requested domain name was probably money.eu?

    Okay, Techdirt is a technical news publication, so you guys are in theory journalists. If you wonder if the EU's forefathers had something in mind, just ask them. The EU hasn't been around for 200 years, Hell it hasn't been around for 20 years. Surely some of the forefathers are still alive. It is a silly premise anyway. Regardless of any sex.eu domain it is hardly a major issue to the people in the EU. The post reads like the government or the entire union has been working on sex.eu instead of accomplishing more important things, which of course isn't the case. Carlo really has an attitude, doesn't he?

    Wow. You really need to learn to take a joke. Seriously. Your humor receptors are really mis-calibrated. You should look into it quickly, because to be that incredibly clueless suggests that there may be other problems in the wiring of your brain.

    The Brits has the best humour in the world - they can surely take a joke. The French, however... And the more southern parts? Well, let's not go there...
