    Sure, the internet is great, but you never know when some disgruntled person will go out and register a domain name that has to do with you. So 35% of companies "own the domain name for their brand followed by the word 'sucks.'" As well they should! Some companies are more thorough than others. Xerox has XeroxStinks.com and IHateXerox.org, for example, whereas Dell could buy DellIsEvil.com, but doesn't think it's worth it. Either way, it's clear corporations aren't doing their homework—the following domain names are, unconscionably, still available right this minute for anyone to buy:

    • Dellcapturedandrapedmydaughter.com
    • Xeroxcorporationslippedmearoofie.com
    • Walmarttouchedundermyclothingwithoutconsent.com
    • IBMrunsacockfightingring.com
    • Gawkermediahasmetieduppleasehelpmeohgod.com
