MarkMonitor.com registered a bunch of defensive domain name registrations for Bell Media yesterday, including the words suck, hate and even the F-Bomb
Bell Media owns many TV networks in Canada including the CTV, Much, and RDS
Here are the domains:
| bellmediasuck.com |
| bellmediasucks.com |
| ctvsuck.com |
| ctvsucks.com |
| fuckyoubellmedia.com |
| ihatebellmedia.com |
| ihatectv.com |
| ihatemuch.com |
| ihaterds.com |
| ihatetsn.com |
| muchsucks.com |
| rdssuck.com |
| tsnsuck.com |
Hardly a worthwhile strategy. MarkMonitor will do everything possible to take money from their clients.
If a company is afraid that some people might say they “suck,” it should either not be in business, or it should try harder to keep its customers happy. Registering domains like this is based on either reality or paranoia. Either improve the reality, or see a therapist.
