You must be really messed up in the head to end up having 14 children, 8 of which were delivered in one go. Nadya Suleman – also known as Octomom – is one such fine example of apparent procreation abuse.
Her sudden shooting to fame caused several things to happen: a reality TV show, the scorn of millions of responsible mothers and two trademark applications with suspended status at the USPTO.
The beauty of the domain registration system commands that whoever registers it first, keeps it – until there is a lawful challenge. The domain name Octomom.com was registered years ago – in 2001 – by some mother who apparently coined the term as a reference to busy mothers, needing “8 arms” to get things done at home – just like an octopus.
“Octo” is number eight in Greek, in case you wondered.
Nowadays, it seems that PETA campaigns generate a lot of both negative and positive publicity over their approach to animal rights; the recent incident which had PETA fighting against Southern California meat company Bullwhip over ownership of the domain name Sex.com is one such fine example.
Apparently, PETA and Octomom are collaborating on a campaign that will ensure Nadya Suleman or “Octomom” receives food and an undisclosed amount of cash for her family of 14 young kids.
The campaign, in the form of a large sign placed in the yard of her La Habra, California, home, would read:
“Don’t let your dog or cat become an ‘Octomom.’ Always spay or neuter.” The ad features a litter of kittens nursing with their mother.
Still pondering over this “creative genius” – should we throw up now, or later?
“Octomom” Nadya Suleman and PETA – the so-called People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals – are about to bring an onslaught of fresh Internet traffic to Octomom.com and its owner, who proclaims the rights to using the “Octomom” name. It’s unfortunate that the Octomom.com owner has to place a disclaimer of bearing no relationship to Nadya Suleman instead of monetizing the living daylights out of this juicy domain keyword.
Play it safe kids, use protection, or you might end up like Nadya “Octomom” Suleman.
I ‘m sure octomom.com gets a decent amount of traffic on a given day from this irresponsible mother’s antics!!
Three years after their birth, I’m still trying to find a good use for my domain Octokids dot-com ….
