Now, as his young son prepares to begin school, Parisi has decided to clean up his act. He's selling the popular adult site that he acquired to anyone willing to pay his price as long as it isn't to be used for adult content or services (nor, he says, is he willing to have it transferred to the real White House).
The site has helped make lots of money for Parisi. Why sell it now? Some have suggested it's because of the new misleading-domain-name law (which I will discuss in an upcoming column). But I don't think the law would apply to whitehouse.com. Instead, Parisi says he's unwilling to have his son face the stigma of being a pornographer's son. He also may be unwilling to have him confront adult content when searching for child-appropriate content online.
The sale of all of his domains is expected to take place as early as March, once an auction arrangement has been reached. Following the auction, Parisi says he's leaving the adult-content business.
