Domainer of the Week Awards - Part 3

Life. Don't talk to me about Life.
-Marvin

It's been a crazy week for me personally and a boring week in the domain world in general so you've just got 3 awards to tide you over 'til Turkey Day. Live with it.

The "There's absolutely nothing funny about it" Award

Goes to Francois Carrillo, the Frenchy bastard that does a helluva job running Domaining.com, for his newly launched BargainDomains.com. The problem is it's a perfect domain for a great service and that means that there's nothing I can say that will be all that terribly funny. Damn it. Better luck next time.

The "Welcome Back Kotter" Award

Goes to Juan Luis Pedro Philippo DeHuevos Epstein... aka Steve Morales, for finally getting his ass back to SimplyGeo.com. It's good to see him alive AND posting after his military service doing whatever the hell the Army Quartermasters Corps does.

The "Big Brass Balls" Award

Here's to you, Mr. Buyer of Whiskey.com guy, who not only took on the Castello brothers and won (well, if paying $185,000 for a domain name can be considered "winning") but now has the onerous task of actually building a competing service to Whisky.com. You've got a big hairy pair of brass ones, mister. Good luck to you.

I hope you enjoyed this abbreviated and overly sarcastic look at the week in Domaining. If you think I've gone too far or trying too hard, send your polite-ass tweets to http://twitter.com/UtterDomain. If you actually have a frickin' sense of humor, then you can check all the domain awards here.

Domain Awards of the Week - Issue 1

I'm starting a new series here every Friday. We'll take a satirical look at the best and worst of the domain industry and make up completely pointless awards. The best part is that the winners will receive absolutely nothing. This is a great week to get started as there was plenty to talk about, starting with:

The "Me Too" Blog Award

goes to the entire domain blog community for their excellent and redundant coverage of the halveraz fiasco over at Snapnames. If you have a domain blog or twitter account and didn't blog or tweet about it, then you may be eligible for the "Comatose Domainer of the Week Award", but then you won't be conscious to read this anyway, so tough luck. The early bird gets the frickin' worm.

The "Yeah Right, We Know You Reg'ed It When You Were Drunk" Award

goes to none other than Rick Latona for his entertaining "Worst Expired Domain Ever".

The "But There are Starving Children in Africa" Award

goes to the jerk off who bought the Sudan for a whopping a $120,000. Oh wait, he bought Sudan.com. Nevermind. That's a steal!

The "Why Didn't I Think of That First" Award

goes to DomainSuperstar for their wonderful, marvellous, stupendous list of Top 100 Domain Blogs. Did I mention I'm number 68? What? It's updated daily and now I'm 72?? Thanks DomainSuperstar... you're a real shmuck.

And finally, in all seriousness...

The "Domainer That Even Domainers Don't Like" Award

goes to the asshole who registered and parked TeenGangRape.com. There's a special level in hell for you sir.. or ma'am. Even though you registered it in January, your ads were probably responsible for what happened in California... Well, at least all the readers of TechCrunch think so. Kudos to Sedo though for choosing "Cheap Airfare" as a related search term. Frickin' Genius.

Now, I'm off to see if there are any Fort Hood domains available. Let me know what you think of the Awards at http://Twitter.com/UtterDomain. Have a great weekend!
