Los Angeles Gets Own TLD

Looks to be on the pricier side of domains, though.

    Laos can do what they like with their CTLD. They can whore it out to whoever they want. Seen the prices on the "good" .tv domains? Think .tv domains are used for Tuvalu citizens?

    Thank you for validating my long standing belief that SJ wishes to god it was LA but has nothing, nada zero null sip zilch in comparison to that plasticene hellhole of a concrete sprawl.

    Frankly, SJ is worse than LA, it's a freakin police state and is void of any form of culture, be it plastic or soulfull.

    Man oh man... I made the mistake of visiting there
    NEVER AGAIN!
