Subject: P&G Domain name idiocy
I sent this to Wired and the editors said it was the funniest thing
they've seen all week, and they're following up.
Apparently, someone at Proctor & Gamble heard about the importance of
registering a good domain name, and the horrors of domain-name
hustling. But why stop with the corporate name (PG.COM) and major
trademarks? Why not also protect HEADACHE.COM, DIARRHEA.COM,
UNDERARM.COM, BADBREATH.COM, and anything else even remotely related to
personal hygiene? I kid you not... I just did a whois on DIARRHEA.COM
and it's real...
Do these guys look absolutely silly, or am I just over-sensitive this morning?
