.xxx on Howard Stern
 

He is reading a commercial spot right now.

Commercial insinuates that any name you want that is a .com you can get now on .xxx.

Scumbags.

Yeah sure, if you have $200k+ for the Good ones ... scammers

Glad I listen to O&A.

well the crusaders now have a new enemy.

who would expect anything else from howard Stern? he is all about money, he doesnt care about porn other than being able to watch it for free lol

Fuck'em :action-sm

cancel your sirius subscription at once

Have to admit that's a good angle to take especially with howard's listeners.

yes i heard it too
i sent the show an email

doubt he will care tho if you want to email and tell them who they are accepting money from the show email is [email protected]

I just wrote them.

i hardly think its his fault.

im partially being sarcastic here hehe.

What would you write them? Stern gets paid what does he care? Why would he turn them away?

i am writing an email as well. see if he pulls the ads tomorrow.

why dont one of the major sponsors contact the show and see if they are willing to do a in studio interview so they can explain why the adult industry as a whole is against .xxx? IE topbucks, manwin, pimproll? Easy branding, guaranteed traffic, and most importantly score one in the court of public opinion. IF they really dont want .xxx to happen they need to be on the offensive, which until now none were.

The same reason I wrote ICANN before. I knew it wouldn't make a difference, but it made me feel better to voice my opinion.

O&A Are also on Sirius and the spots are not just running on Stern's show.

As for the spots being on Stern's show, he doesn't really have control WHO he advertises on the show, IF he 'reads' the ad or 'plugs' it live there is an extra charge, but it's Sirius/XM that controls the ads, not saying Howie boy IS or IS NOT behind .XXX BUT he IS suing his employers right now, and he bashes them quite often on air lately.

He's blasted them about the ads they take, the money they spend on parties (but can't pay him) and the last few shows I caught on replay he was even telling people to CANCEL their subscription cause "No one NEEDS a subscription to Sirius"

I'll fire off an email to a few of the staff I know over there, but MORE people should follow suit and write more letters as well.

There IS strength in numbers, ESP if it can fill 5-20 mins of his show lol

-Loki-

we've been mentioned on stern plenty of times. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

Sure. I can see many Stern listeners getting home from a long day on the construction site and forking out several grand to get that special domain name they've always wanted :1orglaugh

demographic fail.

.

caligari
the ad that they are running is stating that all porn sites are moving to .xxx
it is letting porn surfers think that .xxx will be the home of porn

Damn you got jacked up eh? Training like a beast?

thx Shap,
yea, after 10 years off I got back into it around 3 years ago. I was 247 with a 41 inch waist at 5'5. Something had to be done. Now I'm about 213 with a 34 inch waist, around 18.5 inch arms. I quit drinking except for 1 day a month & my diet is super strict. My goal is a 33" waist possibly a 32. We'll see how it goes though.
best

Fuck Howard Stern

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Seriously, your avi is fucking awesome!

The Howard Stern Radio Show (and the tv show on On-Demand) has listeners/viewers across many age ranges and income levels, including many at the highest levels of the business world, entertainment world and represented in both the states and Federal governments. And many of those influential people have been loyal listeners for 20+ years. His demographics alone are enough for many businesspeople to have made multi-million dollar fortunes primarilly from advertising on his radio show.

Howard can't be expected to know the ins and outs of the machinations behind the .xxx top-level domain's creation or it's potential ramifications for the existing adult industry. Sirius and he are getting paid to read their spots and there is no reason to think he understands why most webmasters would be concerned about the issue.

Damn I remember seeing you and the Duke I met didn't look like your avatar. Way to go man that's awesome. I've been working out hard too but nowhere near as intense as you ;)

Links Pulled

check this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16050495

ICM Registry is confident that the new address will "act as a responsible alternative for adult content sites".
It claims that .xxx sites will be safer than traditional pornography sites

WTF?

.xxx is off to a good start. some of the shows they are running their tv ads are are very inappropriate. they don't give two shits about kids.

Use of common sense is not allowed on this board.
