federal felony for Webmasters to use innocent words like "Barbie" or "Furby"

I never could understand why people use domains or keywords that will draw children in. At the very, very least, they don't have credit cards. Much more importanly, it's just wrong.

I remember a few years ago the owner of Rotten.com brought some heat upon himself by purchasing (and pointing) a domain which was a mispelling of a very popular toy company's domain. Now, if anyone wants to talk about a site that could be harmful to children - that's the site. That place gives adults nightmares. That's the kind of shit the gov't SHOULD be going after. (the domain pointing, not the content of the site) Maybe he was attempting to lure in the parents, but damn, you've got to be smarter than that. It was a bad move in many ways.
