Re: [ga] Adult .IE Domain Names Banned As Immoral

Jeff,

This situation is not unique by any means. Neustar.us, the registry
appointed to run the .us ccTLD has a similar policy that covers the "7 dirty
words" as defined by George Carlin.

If you find adult comedy by George Carlin offensive, you should neither
click nor read the page at the following link:
