F*ckedCompany.com For Sale - On eBay

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the the-logical-end-game dept.

A reader "This is for real. FuckedCompany.com is for sale! The owner is selling it on eBay. Six hours ago it was at $2.24 with 2 bidders, but now it's up to 40 bidders, at $20,300. See the auction right now. " Somehow, I think this is the logical extension of the eBay philosphy. You can read about it on the Web site as well. Update: 09/11 01:53 PM by CT : Two points: this is a real Web site, not just a domain name. Its actually really funny: you rate companies' chances of survival. But this really is just a stunt to draw press (like this) and traffic (if you happen to click the link above) to a clever site. It's a cute one and an interesting site for gauging people's opinions of companies.

    Posting in case others don't get the joke of what the domain/logo/concept is parodying:
    Fast Company is a rah-rah newspaper that tells how wonderous all the dot-com companies are doing and how successful they all are. F*cked Company is a rather logical nomenclature for FC's antithesis newsletter during these months of cleaning out the dot-com failures.
    Fast Company actually has a feature headline today: "When the going gets tough, the tough get real". Those flipping through the dot-com carnage at F*cked Company may beg to differ.

    My company was fucked long before the web site existed. Therefore they are infringing on my IP. I believe I'll ask for it back as soon as we clear all those escaped zoo monkeys out of shipping/receiving.

    Take the Money and Run.

    If your idea is a good one, you can always find a new domain name. And you'll have all that extra money to make your idea worthwhile.
