It comes naturally for Penn State to protect its brand. And you can’t really blame the school for being in crisis-management mode, not now.
But it feels wrong anyway. It is just too cold now to see an institution trying to protect itself.
Penn State is buying up .XXX Internet domains with the school name and nicknames. Why? To try to prevent people from starting up porn sites with the school’s name in light of Penn State’s child sex abuse scandal.
“The cost was $200 per trademark, but this purchase should also prevent someone from buying a domain that includes our trademark along with other words,’’ Penn State spokesman Jeffrey Hermann told FoxNews.com in an email. “(For example) our purchase of nittanylion.xxx is intended to prevent someone from purchasing a url such as nittanyliongirls.’’
Please tell it isn't so...It's getting worrisome for this university, I think this is one of the last things this school should be doing.

I agree with you. It would only be a matter of time before one of those sites popped up with Sandusky photoshopped into some innapropriate pictures/scenes.
I really don't see the big deal with having an intern scoop up bad domain names so porn sites wont be named after the school.
I agree it's not that big a deal however I'd rather see them pay more attention to victims already hurt and any potential victims to come forth in the future. For example if they recieve money from any Bowl games they should donate a portion or ALL of it to a victim fund or children that have been abused in the state of Pa.
They seem more intent on protecting the school name than what has apparently what happened to abused victims.

They already are dude, they announced yesterday that the $1.5 million in bowl proceeds they make which usually goes back into the athletic department will be donated to 2 charities that support victims of sexual violence. The students have also raised $500k for RAINN. That's $2 million in donations in less than a month.
But the media can keep concentraing on the negative though and the $200 domain names they bought.

Outstanding, well that's more like what i was talking about and more of what they should or need to do. More positive things in light of all the negativity that now surrounds the college. I wish they will continue in this way, the media it seems has kept this side of things quiet.

"THERE ARE NO CLIQUES, ONLY THOSE WHO DON'T JOIN THE FUN" - Empty circa 2015
NEW YORK (AP) -- Former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky said Joe Paterno never spoke to him about any suspected misconduct with minors, the New York Times reported Saturday.
Sandusky has been charged with 40 counts of molesting eight boys over 15 years and is free on bail while awaiting a preliminary hearing on Dec. 13 .
Penn State's board of trustees fired Paterno on Nov. 9 because it felt the football coach didn't go far enough in alerting authorities after an assistant coach said he told Paterno he saw Sandusky assaulting a young boy in the football building showers in March 2002.
During a lengthy interview at his lawyer's home, Sandusky told the newspaper he and Paterno never spoke about the alleged 2002 incident or a 1998 child molestation complaint investigated by the Penn State campus police.
"I never talked to him about either one," Sandusky said. "That's all I can say. I mean, I don't know." He worked for Paterno for nearly 30 years.
Sandusky said he never sexually abused any child and that prosecutors have misunderstood his work with children.
"They've taken everything that I ever did for any young person and twisted it to say that my motives were sexual or whatever," Sandusky told the Times. "I had kid after kid after kid who might say I was a father figure. And they just twisted that all."
He is accused of mining the ranks of his Second Mile charity to find underprivileged boys to abuse. Sandusky also said that the charity never restricted his access to children until he became the subject of a criminal investigation in 2008.
He said he regularly gave money to the disadvantaged boys at his charity, opened bank accounts for them and gave them gifts that had been donated to the charity.
"I tried to reward them sometimes with a little money in hand, just so that they could see something," he said. "But more often than not, I tried to set up, maybe get them to save the money, and I put it directly into a savings account established for them."
"I never bought a computer for any kid; I had a computer given to me to give to a kid. I never bought golf clubs. People gave things because they knew there would be kids. They wanted to get rid of things."
Asked about his physical interaction with children who were not his own, Sandusky said that aspect of the relationships "just happened that way."
"I think a lot of the kids really reached out" for wrestling and hugging, he said.
The paper said he grew most animated when talking about his relationships with children and most disconsolate when he spoke of Paterno and Penn State, and the upheaval caused by his indictment.
"I don't think it was fair," he is quoted as saying.
During the interview, Sandusky said his relationships and activities with Second Mile children did cause some strain with Paterno. He told the paper he worried that having some children with him at hotels before games or on the sideline during games, could have been regarded as a distraction by Paterno.
"I would have dreams of we being in a squad meeting and that door fly open and kids come running through chasing one another, and what was I going to do?" he said. "Because, I mean, Joe was serious about football."
Read the Times article today. He's a strange guy, obviously. Has the worst lawyer in the history of the world too.
he looks even worse in the video portion...at one point sandusky kind of looked over towards him after he was done talking as if to say "did i say it like you wanted me to say it, joe?" :roll:

creepy motherfuckers.
Jesus, I'll have to check that out. Read it on my phone this morning so I didn't watch the video.
Edit: Had an interesting conversation with my sister about this who is now a criminal defense lawyer, she said people like Sandusky are the only people she wouldn't consider representing. Have to be a creep to defend that guy.
It seems that all 8 victims listed in the indictment will testify against Saundusky in a preliminary hearing next week. If that's the case, I guess they were able to find out who the kid in the shower was when McQueary walked in. Last I heard, they didn't know who he was.
Sandusky arrested once again... I don't think he'll ever get out again and rightfully so.

Yet another accuser has come forward. This time, it's a 19-year old who says Sandusky gave him alcohol and abused him on the Penn State campus when he was 12.
"The victim testified that at least on one occasion he screamed for help, knowing that Sandusky's wife was upstairs, but no one ever came to help him."
He's been wearing that thing every time I see him on the news. It's like he thinks that stupid wind breaker is his Get Out of Jail Free card. Maybe it used to be, but no more. I keep expecting one of the Penn State Trustees to Gilooly him and steal the jacket.
THIS HAPPENED AFTER he "retired" and it happened ON CAMPUS...
Penn St ALLOWED him free reign on his rape escapades. got where he wanted, where he wanted it
AFTER Penn St KNEW ABOUT the first allegations
this Child Rape happened during road games with kids and PENN ST allowed it..from 04-08
HOW DOES PENN ST ALLOWS THIS TO HAPPEN? WHY THE COVER UP? bc of MONEY??

I keep thinking it's really too bad capital punishment isn't an option in this case.

At first I thought the school would be ok, academically anyway, but I'm not so sure anymore. This is going to be in the news for the next decade.
I'm not sure an institution can withstand that kind of bad publicity for such a long time.
close this cesspool down...and then closed down the entire state of oklahoma because a teacher took pics of kids in lingere

No doubt, there is no reason for them not to do this and how this can be seen as a negative is beyond me.
