Pornographer to sell Whitehouse.com Web address

[Analog]

(02-10) 00:44 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --

The Whitehouse.com Web site, one of the best examples that the Internet isn't always what it seems, is getting out of the pornography business.

Its owner says he's worried what his preschool-age son might think.

"He'll be going to kindergarten next year," said Daniel Parisi, who started the Web site in 1997 that is frequently confused with the official government site, www.whitehouse.gov. Parisi, 44, said he worried that his son's classmates might taunt him about the family's business.

so that's what goes on in the oval office....

I wonder who he'll sell too. Think the government will buy it?

Daniel Parasi owns this site and the sucks500.com sites (formerly sucks.com)...he's worth quite a bit and that domain name will fetch at least a million I imagine just based on hits.

This guy also took on Micheal Bloomberg and Lockheed Martin in a WIPO over the sucks domain....he won.

The classmates thing is warranted. It's the parents that will be the problems...they will tell their children not to play with the 'dirty' kid and worse.

I am estimating 5m atleast if it goes to another pornographer.

I'd bet money that some kind of government front company will buy it. I doubt the gvt would buy it blatantly. Too many bad images associated with it...
