Is it just me or is the ICANN plan to corral online porn going terribly wrong? Legitimate porn sites have little interest in the triple X domains.

Gay.xxx already sold for $500k....SheMale or SheMales.xxx (can't remember exactly) already sold for $200K....Clips4Sale invested $700k into some .xxx domains I had read online somewhere previously as well. I don't know that I would go investing that kind of money, but I still think it's a little too early to say whether this extension will really be a failure or not.
