Pornographer to sell Whitehouse Web site

The Whitehouse.com Web site, one of the best examples that the Internet isn't always what it seems, is getting out of the pornography business. Its owner says he's worried what his preschool-age son might think. "He'll be going to kindergarten next year," said Daniel Parisi, who started the Web site in 1997 that is frequently confused with the official government site, www.whitehouse.gov. Parisi, 44, said he worried that his son's classmates might taunt him about the family's business. Parisi's decision to sell the Whitehouse.com name and more than 100 derivations comes amid signs pointing to a rebound in the market for reselling Web addresses. A Florida man sold men.com in December for $1.3 million. Parisi said he doesn't know yet how much the names will fetch; he claimed the Whitehouse.com site, it advertises pictures of "hot interns" and once included a "first ladies" section, earns more than $1 million each year in revenues and said he's invested more than $7 million since 1997. The site currently features a picture of Democratic front-runner John Kerry with the message, "Our candidates are better looking."
