 Where do you draw the line between registering a domain name to mourn or honor an individual, vs profit from their death?
Since MJ died, there have been 3,459 .com domain names registered with the word “michael” in them. Don’t believe me? Well, here is the list I compiled (please give me credit if you use it) and a few extracts of interest:
- michaelisstillalive.com
- michaeljackson-conspiracy.com
- michaeljackson911tape.com
- michaeljacksonautopsy.com
- michaeljacksonconcertrefund.com
- michaeljacksonisfaking.com
- michaeljacksontributetour.com
- michaeljacksonwasmurdered.com
- whopoisonedmichaeljackson.com
In light of this registration frenzy, I’d ask the media, not to “tar and feather” the entire domain name industry with the actions of a few people who lack morals / ethics in this area.
Having said that, newspapers, TV and other sources “profit” from this as well. What do you think? Have you registered a MJ domain?

I was driving in Richmond today and noticed this massive domain name plastered on the side of the building. What a great use of a domain name! Look how big this thing is compared to a car – you can see it for miles away.
Being the domainer, I had to park and take a photo. The strange thing is, their website doesn’t even have a picture of the building. You’d think you were almost dealing with an online mailorder company.
At the top of the site is this quote – “When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So let’s all get drunk and go to heaven!” – Brian O’Rourke.
Maybe they got the idea to make those HUGE letters over a few bottles of red wine?
