Brothels online in Oz?
p2pnet.net News:- Starting today businesses in Australia will be able to apply to register commercial geographic names which had previously been restricted.
And Oz shadow agriculture minister Gavan O’Connor thinks it could lead to trouble.
“A Melbourne company involved in selling off the Internet domain names of Australian towns admits it is possible that online rights could be sold to businesses like brothels,” says ABC News, going on to quote O’Connor as saying, “Every country town and rural district or regional centre that prides itself in its name, and identifies with its name, could have it flogged off to a business that’s prepared to pay a high price for access to that domain name.
“We were instructed to go to the Las Vegas website and, of course, what came up on the screen was a brothel.”
Could urls such as the one below have been what was bothering him?

contact your travel agent and ask if they can give you some pamphlets.

A google search gave this:

Look for brothels halfway down.
My personal highlight was:
Vegas Tours by Scott – Las Vegas Tours by Limousine affordably priced for sightseeing, charters for the whole family. But geared for adults and the brothels.
Sadly the link was dead…
