OLD ass news actually, start back in 2005 on Bob's website (

Here are some highlights:

I called upon ICANN to approve .XXX.
In my keynote speech recently delivered at the annual Domain Roundtable Conference industry meeting in Seattle on May 25th, I called upon ICANN to approve the .XXX top level domain. I personally believe that out of all the new top level domains being approved, .XXX is one that makes a great deal of sense and will serve a useful purpose.

Adult website operators will not voluntarily let go of their .COM names.

It’s going to take action by private industry and the government to resolve the matter entirely.

Another solution might be for browser manufacturers to only allow users to access adult websites when a .XXX domain name is used. In other words, attempts to access websites containing adult content with web site addresses that use other top level domain extensions such as .COM or .NET, simply wouldn’t resolve.

I suspect that we will need a combination of government and private solutions to solve the adult content issues to most everyone's satisfaction.

You can also hit google with "Bob Parsons + porn" to find some other "gems" I'm too lazy to go find archives of the old site posts, looks like now Bob's site is just video blog stuff, but I'm sure the archives are there somewhere, I had that post date and quotes handy from this same discussion on another board from a few hours ago.
I find it amazing that so many people "forgot" about Bob's outspokenness against our industry all the while he happily takes our money, he's been one of the biggest anti-porn hypocrites I've ever seen.
Does anyone happen to remember years back when Bob did his first online radio show (now a video radio show these days) The topic was mainly WHY .xxx MUST be passed, and how cool he was for being "Bob"
A bunch of us adult webmasters / program owners got onto his show to ask him WHY he wanted to destroy the very industry he so gladly profited from, I WISH I had an Archive of that, was a GREAT show (thanks to us lol)
