.kids.us - a simple demonstration of the problem

Here's a simple way to demonstrate why the ".kids.us" domain is not a panacea. Consider the standard given in the Dot Kids Implementation and Efficiency Act of 2002.

(5) SUITABLE FOR MINORS- The term `suitable for minors' means, with respect to material, that it--

`(A) is not psychologically or intellectually inappropriate for minors; and
`(B) serves--
`(i) the educational, informational, intellectual, or cognitive needs of minors; or
`(ii) the social, emotional, or entertainment needs of minors.'.

Now, the question: Does the book Heather Has Two Mommies meet this standard? Think about the implications.
