hichina.com = FAIL

from: http://lukehoughton.com/2008/03/16/its-ok-to-fail/And not just fail, cheese cat fail. Just going through my spam box, the majority of 'bad' domains are registered with hichina.com. My understanding is that ICANN requires all registrars to have valid information for each domain, no? I know that's tough to police, but come on! Unless I'm mistaken, "JIEFANGLU268.SHUANGXIAJIUDIAN1003" is not a city in China, or anywhere in the world. Is there something from preventing a registrar from validating City/Province, etc (a script perhaps like so many other sites use) at registration? That's no solution, but at least it's a barrier from straight jibberish.
