Simply migrate all the explicit content on your .com sites to a worthless .xxx like gy8gdf.xxx and use the existing sites for promotion.
This allows none of your brand juice to slip into the hands of .xxx/ICM and is business as usual.
Fuck .xxx

Wouldn't work for the fact that ICM can make up any rules they want and if they didn't want you to own the .com anymore then can enforce that, and they likely would. They would tell you, stop using the .com or forfeit your .xxx If they make a deal with the govt to make us use .xxx they make the rules and control the entire game.
Also, ICM still wins, because then there would be millions of .xxx domains purchased and Stuart will get the pay off he is looking for and I really really hope that fat piece of shit never gets that pay off.
One thing is for sure, Joan started lobbying for it the second she was hired. These people are all snakes and their only priority is how much money they can make, they will lie to you and tell you whatever you want to hear while they try to accomplish their goal.

But one thing you are not taking into account here is that .xxx is now approved. There would be no justification for denying any other sTLD under the adult "label' now that .XXX is approved... unless of course you count the monetary justification (ICM people paying off ICANN more to "protect" .xxx).. but a scandal of those proportions would easily blow up IMHO.

I think you missed the announcement from ICANN that they were going to open it up to what ever anyone wanted, including more adult. But they made it sound like, if i remember right, that it was still a little ways away (maybe year or so) before they would start doing it. I would have to think a few big companies are jockeying to get in line already but it could be a little while before you hear who and/or when it gets approved.
