How repulsive is this?

Chris Curry is just another dirt bag trying to capitalize on a tragedy. Waiting like a rat for 911 anniversaries to post the domain on ebay, failing to sell everytime. Where do these people come from?

Adam, add some separation after "google", the titles don't read right and it seems like "google" is a part of the topic:

Timing - horrible yes. But the binladen family by 9/11 had publicly disavowed themselves of their trouble making son. This was their business and many amongst the current US government were doing business with them at the time. Heck they even hustled them out of the country when nobody else could fly, when they should have kept them around for questioning!

It was not a 'family' domain but a corporate one, and Alexa.com doesn't support his 9/11 traffic claim.

Interesting facts, OsamaBinLaden.com belongs to a Pakistani from Karachi, BinLaden.com is a Marchex Inc. property.

Your trying to turn this into a political issue when its not....This is about trying to cash-in on by attempting to sell a domain related to a horrible tragedy....Not that it will ever sell, he would be lucky if he gets $500 for it, Low life's like these always come out of the woodwork whenever a major tragedy makes the news, and their only outlet is Ebay, who is consistently removing these listings.

Osama had nothing to do with that family business years before Sept 11. The seller wants people to connect the two when no such connection existed beyond the family name.

And you are right - the domain is pretty much worthless except as an oddity.
