WASHINGTON (AP) -- 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.

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."

internet around 1997 and wanted to show my father the Clinton Whitehouse site, yikes (!) up popped that porn site because I didn't know what a big difference .gov and .com could make. :argh: Iwas real careful after that. :-)
