Domain Names to Suck More

A submitter writes: "MSNBC is running this article about a free speech lawyer who will be doling out sites with the word 'suck' in it for free. He and others are afraid that too many of these gripe sites have been taken away from their owners and given to the target companies and is willing to fight in court for these people." We posted about the VivendiUniversalSucks decision earlier.

  1. What we want is a real test case by gowen · · Score: 5, Funny

    I suggest we set up a website to promote a lawsuit where the guidelines are more ambiguous. I recommend registering "www.hoovervacuumcleanersDONTsuck.com"

    I think we just need to formalize it, there is a definate need for the TLD ".sucks"

  3. Full disclosure by Score0,+Overrated · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think it only fair that the existence of this site is disclosed while discussing this story.

  8. and in 100ms. by www.sorehands.com · · Score: 2, Funny
    And in 100ms, there will be porn sites registered as mywife.sucks, mytwolesbiangirlfriendsandI.sucks.

    The problem here is by making a distinction between .sucks and .com or you don't get people getting the same information on the same searches. There may be a stigmatism from the information being on the .sucks tld, it is someone who is just complaining. Then you will have the issue of domain battles for barbie.sucks, because people will fight over who thinks barbie sucks more.

  9. Isn't that domain already taken? by Rude+Turnip · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought Comsucks was for Comcast's new "high speed" cable modem service.
