The domain name UpYourButt.net is owned by GE.
Yes the General Electric Company.
The domain was once registered to Universal Studios which is owned by NBC, which in turn is owned by GE.
The domain name does not resolve.
The domain’s registrar is the corporate brand consultant cscglobal.com
Its a pretty strange name to see under the control of a company in the Dow Jones average and under management at a corporate registrar.
Wonder if they are going to apply for upyourbutt.xxx?
Maybe it was used in a TV show or something.
Why was MHB looking for it?
I agree with Kevin, but also with Tony…indeed, the bigger question is why Michael discovered this in the first place π
Bet it was in the plotline of law and order they always seize computers from sex offenders and find them looking at shocking shameful sites like that
Exactly. I just heard it used on a rerun of Law and Order S13/E24 (2003). And I just had to look it up.
GE owns NBC.
They registered it for a new NBC program “Up Your Butt!” with propogandist and phoney, Keith Olbermann
GE is in bed with the current administration and they are giving it to us UP THE BUTT!
Just a thought!
Cheers
David Jobes wins — it was from Law & Order:

LOL, I thought you guys were smarter than this, doesn’t GE make a line of xray, and radiology equipment?
I dont know about having xrays UP my butt.
Cant say that I ever had one taken that way before!
Apparently Ron knows all about it… LOL (just kidding)
Cheers

lol.

is it owning the .net rather than the .com that you find upsetting?
pick one: “Imagination at Work” or “We bring good things to life”
Jack, am a General Surgeon, believe me one day you will know the feeling lol
βWhy was MHB looking for it?β
As Michael has pointed out, he likes common phrases.
Or, he had a physical today.
UpYourTush ,com is available.
UpYourButt ,org is available.
Michael use to own UpTheTush ,com which is now available.
He does own TurnYourHeadandCough ,com.
π
It is surprising CBFleet doesn’t own a few of these.
π
customers’ directory?
the only way to survive a nuclear accident?
a new source of renewable energy?
Doesn’t he own dirty.com ???
No idea why they would own that one but F***mybutt.com is a better one π
GE also owns Coincidence.com. It forwards to GE Health Care. I own coincidence.co. Think they want to buy it? lol

“new NBC program βUp Your Butt!β with propogandist and phoney, Keith Olbermann”
Unless Chriss Mathews or CNN start the show first
ge is squatting on the name.
they know mhb owns similar names and would be interested.
they’re not using the name to its full value.
totally ruining the web, and destroying the hopes of entrepreneurs who would otherwise aim to improve our “user experience”.
this is domain name abuse. time to call cadna and complain.
They must have made the medical diagnostic equipment used in the movie Idiocracy. If I can find the right clip, I’ll post the link.
Conan O’Brien made a lot of comedic hay a few years back when he jokingly made up a domain name on the show- HornyManatee.com- and how NBC Corporate got back with him saying that he had to notify him whenever he does that, as they have some internal rule that they must buy the domain before the broadcast.
do you think hornymanatee.com got a thundering herd of traffic after that broadcast? probably like being slashdotted. but the herd is much, much larger, and comprised of impulsive, gullible late night coach potatoes instead of skeptical computer nerds.
Wow, Fantastic article, itβs so helpful to me, and your blog is very good,
that website was used in an episode of law and order
