I figure that after the net surfer realizes his or her mistake, and finds the correct "whitehouse", they'll never confuse the White House with a porn site afterward.
The question is:
Did the White House try to raise a legal stink over the name, though?
The Fund did, and did so in an opportunistic manner. They should have nipped the whole thing in the bud when Vince decided to change the name years ago, not when The Federation was making a ton of money. (While one will point out that 1994 was a lull in wrestling similar to today, the WWFederation was still eating off the spoils of the bygone Hogan era.)
They both were in the wrong, but if The Fund wanted to end this "market confusion", they should have stopped Vince back in 1979, not after the brand name had been established through a boom.
