Cameroon Typo-Squats all of .com

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can't-fault-them-for-the-idea dept.

wayne writes "As reported on CircleID, the nation of Cameroon, which controls the .cm top level domain, has typo-squatted all of the .com domain space. They have placed a wildcard DNS record to redirect all traffic to an ad-based search page. Unlike the earlier case of Verisign putting a wildcard in the real .com domain, ICANN has very little direct control over what a nation can do with their own TLD. Will the owners of .co and .om follow?"

    We invade the country, kill those spearchucking niggers, and take their domain!

      Nobody wants niggers anywhere. Not me, not you, not even niggers. Maby if you spent more time reading African American history you would know this. For Christ's sake, I like niggers, but I want to go lynch one after reading this thread. I guess I'll settle for watching a tv show about the death penalty on the History Channel. So many dead niggers, it makes me proud to be an American.

      They can't say that America doesn't like killing its niggers.

    From what I understand, the government there controls (well, attempts to) the broadcast channels pretty damn strictly, and voicing an opposition political opinion is generally called "libel" and involves jail time.

    Then we'd be right at home then. It's not hard to change "libel" to "trator". From reading a little about Cameroon, their government is as accountable as our own. Of course, we should just assume they are evil incarnate as they aren't white anglo-saxon Christians.

    How about a change to make it so that any .cm is forwarded to the .com version instead?

    Now that would be handy. cause no one at my office is going to anything related to cameroon, EVER.

    But of course that is okay, since it is fashinable to bash anglo-saxon Christians right now, just as it was once fashionable to bash negros, judes, redskins, gooks, insert deragatory racial group term of your choice here.

    Oh yeah, poor world dominating anglo-saxon Christians. I shed a tear.

    If you spout off silly strawmen that even a 10 year old can see through, the adults amongst us write you off as a child.

    In case you are an actual adult with an actual thought pattern, consider expressing it in adult terms, so that we may have the potential pleasure of reading your opinions and thoughts.

    Just a tip.

    I personally take offense at your list of derogatory terms as you left off those of us of mixed mick and kraut heritage... You're probably a frog or a wop, aren't you?
