Totally irrelevant to the new domain structure; but, very quaint.
That being said, I don't think we will see many, if any, sexually-oriented domain names pass due to GAC objections to objectionable TDLs.
Given that, .COM may eventually become "THE PORN" domain.
Let the banks move to .bank, etc.

i disagree. the new tld's are awkward and the general public will be totally cluess as to them and how to use them.
at 180-300k for one, only the big boys will bother so unless you are holding out for six figures for all your domains, i wouldn't worry regardless.
anyways, typing ".whatever" won't work, just typeing "whatever" won't work...so what the hell.. are people going to have to type in "www.whatever?".. or "product.whatever"? I'd say 80% of people will type "whatever.whatever.com" just out of pure habit. It will take another 15 years to re-educate the public. IF it catches on.. sure a company may rather buy one of these tld's instead of shelling out a million dollars for the .com but thats a fraction of domain sales.
