    More likely than not the guy has some malware redirecting his DNS requests, or this is all just a marketing trick for the .xxx domain.

    I don't get it - Minnesota Strippers? ! I mean the Russkies are hardly what you would call a a trousorially repressed nation, it's not like they don't get enough of that kind of thing at home.... maybe it counts as "exotic" ? ;)

    My money's on a DNS/"spammy-marketing" problem of some sort as well :P

    Has he got the iTunes trojan fix yet? ;)

    Sort of makes sense.
