The plan for a virtual red light district through the creation of a .xxx net domain name has hit delays after concern from government officials.

An official from President George Bush’s administration has asked for the brakes be put on the planned domain name until its impact is studied more.

The domain was given the go-ahead by Icann (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) in June.

But some are concerned that it would encourage more porn on the net.

More porn on the net? Don’t they know that porn has fueled the Interwebnet since the beginning? From ASCII art to uuencode to images in 16-million colors, to full-blown video. It’s all about porn, plain and simple. It doesn’t take a study to figure that out — of course it will encourage more porn, any new technology does. Just look at the PSP (nsfw).
