LONDON (Reuters) - A Conservative party association in the small Welsh town of Delyn is trying to buy back its Web site domain name after it was taken over by pornographers.



The site once promoted the activities of the local Conservative association, offering news about area councilors and useful contact numbers.


Now users are confronted with offers to buy hardcore movies featuring group, lesbian and anal sex, as well a raft of explicit images of naked women.


A spokesman for Welsh Conservatives -- who stressed he had not seen the offending site -- said the problem arose when the Delyn conservatives took on a new Internet address but forgot to renew their ownership of the old name, which was subsequently snapped up by a pornographer.


"It was brought to our attention by a student from Oxford University who was logging onto the site to do some research," he added.


The association is hoping to buy the domain name back and in the meantime all links from Conservative party Web sites to the hard-core Delyn site have been erased.


Delyn is a Labour dominated constituency, which up until 1992 was held by Conservatives.

You see.And people say that no good ever comes from pornography.I'd say it is a much better use of a domain name.If you want to see something really obscene,tune in to Bush's inaguration.I for one plan to keep my TV off during it.
