Is there any statistics or trends you see regarding those parked domains?
I'm not talking about gigs, but very low type-ins keywords like excellentporn.com, pornexpert.com etc bought in a bulk

I can tell you first had as a registrar owner that the good domains never get released back in to the market. All registrar-s do it, especially for the keyword domains. I have seen domains disappear from "registrar hold" and not go in to pending delete at all.
Some registrars have began to buy up generic names like
tomsmith.com
joesmith.com
mikesmith.com
garrysmith.com
ect ect
they register literally 1000-s of variations of popular christian names and then peddle them for 599$
My company acquired a registrar to round up its hosting offer and I had no idea how crooked everything is in the registrar world until I tried to drop catch some semi valuable domains only to see them disappear completely poof and they are no longer pending delete :D
