I think the Playboy case is different -- people are using trademarked names
(playboy, playgirl) to advertise XXX sites. That's trademark (and image)
protection.
Still, I found this an interesting twist on Alexa.
Someone has to create a model where companies make enough $ to support
content. What happens when TV viewership & newspaper readership decline to
the point that those companies don't have a pool of reporters generating
content that is repurposed for the web?

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they
should live next door and just visit now and then.
