Suck sites sucked away by WIPO

WIPO takes 80% of all (whatever)sucks domain names away from the owners and gives them to the protest-filing companies - so much for free speech on the net. But attorney Ed Harvilla came up with a solution: "Sucks" sites to be doled out for free.

'Harvilla and a group of silent partners are launching the “Free Speech Center.” Harvilla has dozens of .com, .net, .org, and .info domain names than can be appended with a prefix — known to technologists as the hostname of a URL — to make a logical protest site destination. On the list: bizsucks.net, comsucks.net, edusucks.net, and orgprotest.org. So any company that didn’t like Harvilla’s site could create a site called “FreeSpeechCenter.orgprotest.org.”'

One can only hope it catches on. We need to thin the ranks of the gruntled.

Very cute. Our Focus doesn't suck. Ford Customer Service at MacMahon Ford in Norwalk, CT sucks. Wind. big time.

Yes indeed, the Ford Focus STILL SUCKS. I got satisfaction from Ford, so I let the website drop since no one gave a SH*T about protecting themselves, friends or family members...
