ICANN is retarded. Literally.
Posted on December 17th, 2009 2 commentsI just had an amazing idea for a new TLD. So, naturally, I Google create new TLD.
I went to this link, then to the ICANN FAQ on how to create a new TLD, then the ICANN forum…
This stuff is like from 2000. Am I missing something? The newest info about this is almost a decade old?
It seems more often lately, I stumbleUpon Ars Technica, which has a good overview of a recent plan by ICANN to allow hundreds more generic Top Level Domains.

how can you be retarded literally? Just wondering why you would use a slur like the word retarded. It’s demeaning and offensive to people with special needs. Isn’t that reason enough to stop?

Mike, relax. ICANN is slow, they have fallen behind, and clearly have developed at a slower rate. That is how they can be literally retarded. It has nothing to do with people with special needs in this context. From the web:
retard - cause to move more slowly or operate at a slower rate
retarded - relatively slow in development
retardation - slowdown: the act of slowing down or falling behindI will not succumb to a PC culture that tries to restrict accurate word usage.
