Funny part of all of this is it seems that every year this sort of thing comes back up just in time to become a US election issue by summer... right now there are a shortage of real issues to work with, and this just sounds like someone trying to put another ball in play to hit around for a while.

it will go away, much like COPA and everything else has in the past, because none of it ever seems to pass US constitutional muster, so they all die horrible deaths.

Remember, they ended up outlawing strip clubs and adult bookstores by carefully writing ZONING laws, limiting adult businesses to areas not less than 1000 feet from a school, church, hospital, day care, mental institution, and other such buildings. Done carefully enough, with enough restrictions, you end up with only one or two places inside a county that can actually legally be zoned for adult. That is why in many places in the US, you will find adult businesses in the middle of BF nowhere, to avoid zoning. .XXX is an attempt to zone us all out of existance, except for a rich few who could afford to properly promote and garner traffic to their new domains. The rest of us would get squished.
