Dumbass Domainer Award
Welcome to another edition of our series “You’re a dumbass domainer,” dedicated to bidders of domain auctions that are obvious trademarks.
Going after a previously registered domain for its traffic, all while the trademark issues are so prominent, grants the bidder a “domainer dumbass” award.
Here’s last edition’s winner.
Today’s offending domain is KelloggsNYC.com. It sold on DropCatch for $1,500 dollars, after several bidders ignored the KELLOGGS trademark.
The Union Square, NYC eatery closed down in December 2019, right before the Coronavirus pandemic. Kelloggs still owns KelloggsNYC.net but it doesn’t resolve.
The DropCatch auction’s winner, “chamidb,” wins the dumbass domainer award.
The word dumbass will be the next word to explode in the media, then you will have to retract your words and apologize to everyone you called a dumbass. The public will not accept your apology until you appear on a video crying with fake mascara running down your cheeks.
hehehe
Seriously though…. one could add nyc.com to the entire dictionary, why would anyone pay for kelloggsnyc.com? I mean really… analyze it for a second… double g, plural, trademark, ends in c.com. A whole lotta things not to love about that domain.
