George W. Bush buys anti-Bush names

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-it's-a-cool-sort-of dept.

Quite a number of people have written over the last few days, alerting us to the fact that it appears that presidential candidate George W. Bush, has bought up over 200 Internet Domain Names. The article on Zdnet says that people wanted to put a website up at www.bushsucks.com, but Bush bought that, and more such as bushsucks.net, bushsucks.org, and even bushblows.com Huh-I guess it's a way of having a clue. Sort of.

  1. Register, Read, Vote. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5

    This is slightly off topic: I just want to remind everyone to register to vote, read up on the issues, and vote. This crap does affect you and don't be turned off by the negative advertizing which is used by both sides and which is designed to disgust people into not voting. Geeks and other independent minded people are easily turned off by this stuff. Don't get fooled, find a reason to vote and do it.

    1. Domain name related stories

      These stories weren't very interesting to begin with and now they're just plain annoying. I don't care.

    2. Linux devel. kernel releases

      I care about Linux news, but not what people have to say about piddly bi-weekly kernel improvements.

    Thank you, and good night.
