Hell.com Domain Name Up For Sale 188
Carl Bialik from WSJ writes "Internet domain name Hell.com is going up for sale, with bids of over $1 million expected, the Wall Street Journal reports. From the article: 'Sex.com sold for about $12 million earlier this year and Diamond.com changed hands for $7.5 million. The big-money domain-name sales echo an earlier boom, when Business.com fetched $7.5 million in 1999. Today's live auction of 300 names, by Seevast Corp.'s Moniker unit, includes more than a handful it predicts will generate bids of more than $1 million, including Iran.com, Auction.com and Elections.com. Now someone who buys Hell.com "has the opportunity to redefine what hell means, at least on the Internet," says Monte Cahn, Moniker chief executive.'"

As for Hell.com, there's at least one little town [wikipedia.org] that could make use of the domain.

You read correctly. Apparently, the Inter Net is being appropriated by these rascals and is being used to transmit filthy images of unclothed women!
After making this alarming discovery, I spent the next 4 1/2 hours double-checking my findings by clicking the "Black", "Fetish", "Anal", and "Black Anal Fetish" links on the left portion of the computer screen. I found it necessary to do this repeatedly and vigorously until I finally grew tired, and I anticipate needing to continue on with the double-checking tomorrow.
I estimate that this double-checking process could take upwards of the next 7 months, after which I intend to write an angry letter to the Web Masters of Slash.dot.com and the Wall Street Journal. However, most of my angry missives will be directed to the people behind this horrible, deviant web site, and I will demand that they direct me to other, similar web sites so that I may carry on my investigation.
Yours in Christ,
Beebeard
