A friend sent me this video that I want to share with you called “King Gavin Makes it Rain.” It’s an advertisement for the .XXX domain extension that I believe was created by the ICM Registry, to encourage people to learn more about .XXX domain names at About.XXX. The video was uploaded to YouTube just a few days ago, but it already has over 700,000 views. Pretty good viral marketing.

I don’t think much of the video above. But, I must admit the 2 informational videos put out by ICM to educate the non-domainer audience are well done – “Wake Up to Sunrise” & “dotXXX is a Win Win Win” (both viewable on YouTube).
Notwithstanding whether you agree/disagree with the ‘reasoning & benefits’ of launching the extension (as laid out by ICM), the information itself – including details of the often confusing sunrise/landrush period – is well communicated.
…IMO, of course.

Funny stuff Elliot. You are right 700,000 is real big, domain videos never get a lot of traffic. It must be the XXX bringing in the traffic on you tube.
It’s all very heartwarming. So much I want to give a c*m guzzling wh*re a nice jumbo size case of AIDS. No, really. In a good way.
