I have received notices from several registrars and it appears that the retail price of .Co domain name registration fees are dropping in conjunction with the big Super Bowl Ad.
Dotster.com announced today that as of 7:30pm EST tonight they are beginning a 7 day sale for .Co registrations for just $11.99
The current price on Dotster,com for a .Co registration is $29.99
For all registrars that use a Logic Boxes back end the .CO sale begins around 8Pm
I heard through the GrapeVine that Godaddy.com will drop its price as of midnight tonight for .Co registrations also to $11.99 and run that promo price for one week in conjunction with the Super Bowl Promotion.
Also Dotster.com has .Co as it default extension on its site for new registrations already
You might well see .Co again show up as the default extension on drop down menus on many registrar sites for before tomorrow big game
The $11.99 price is for new registration and is not in effect for renewals.
this is what I’ve proposed/predicted just yesterday here:
thedomains.com/2011/02/03/co-hits-the-front-page-of-the-la-times/#comment-75557
but, at this price, GoDaddy must sell over 1,000,000 of .CO domains to cover the costs of the Super Bowl ad
is it possible to happen???
Told ya so.
Face
1st of although I don’t know for sure I would be absolutely shocked if .Co registry did not pay for part of this ad.
Its a cobranded ad promoting two companies, Godaddy and .Co.
Usually such ads are paid for by a combination of the two companies but of course don’t know the split but I’m going to assume something close to 50-50.
I don’t know what the wholes cost to Godaddy is but again only assuming Godaddy is not going to make more than a few dollars per registration at this price level.
However, the price drop is temporary ending sometime looking like sometime on the 12th.
Mr. Parsons from Godaddy in his remarks at Domainfest said that in past year the surge from the Super Bowl ad goes well into March with in many past years March was a stronger month than Feb so lets not assume that any of the parties are looking at making their ad money back in the 1st week but hope to get legs out of it for months to come.
“…lets not assume that any of the parties are looking at making their ad money back in the 1st week but hope to get legs out of it for months to come.”
And from future renewals at the higher price.
the real problem is to find 1,000,000 of GOOD Word.CO domains to register now
I believe that great part will be between WordWord.CO and WordWordWord.CO
Godaddy should make most of their investment back next year after the teaser rates ($11.99) are gone and people will want to renew their “diamonds.” Even now, if a person purchases a .co for multiple years, only the first year will be $11.99.
The Super Bowl ad . . . the now gaping price differential between the 1st and 2nd year reg fees . . . the fervent dreams of those hoping against hope for their own bite at the domain golden apple which was devoured by others a decade ago . . . the unmitigated hype by those players and stakeholders driven by the desire for the quickest, biggest payoff possible . . . all factors doing nothing more than laying the groundwork for the swiftest and largest non-renewal, non-drop pickup, non-re-register domain exodus our industry has or will ever see.
@ Steve M
Nice Overview …
Next year look forward to the Toilet Bowl Ad!
“only the first year will be $11.99”
but, clearly, this low price is good for those who want (or hope) to resell his .CO
post edit: … to resell his .CO within few months
I think Jenny McCarthy is the new .CO GoDaddy girl!
The bigger profit is made on products sold after an individual buys a domain name. SSL, Fax, Hosting etc.
“Jenny McCarthy”
very good
Having trouble pulling the trigger on any more .co’s even for $12 with so many good .TV’s still unreg’d…
– TBC
Here’s an unreg’d domain we passed-on today, for anyone who may be looking for some .co dictionary words:
Fissure.co
– TBC
@ MHB
Obviously both COInternet and GoDaddy paid for the commercial. COInternet said they would buy a commercial for SuperBowl, so they partenered with GD.
What Steve M. said!!! (twice!!)
No thanks..I rather spend it on pizza and beer.
Previously,they have 99cent dot com special.
@ Joe
Why are you telling MHB that?
MHB has been part of the .co “marketing machine” from the very beginning according to their new website: rightofthedot.com/clients/
“The Dot CO (.co) Registry needed the right kind of sales and marketing strategy.”
“The founders of RIGHT OF THE DOT helped .co successfully launch their extension, position their premium names, and are actively involved in the sale and marketing of their most premium single letter domain name – i.co.”
—————–
…welcome to the .co machine
Gazzip
I haven’t had time to do a post on RIGHT OF THE DOT yet but to address this comment, we are now consulting on the sale of the domain name i.Co
This is a project that Monte brought over from Oversee and Moniker/ Snapnames are still heavily involved in the project.
So Monte is going to continue to work on it.
As far as i.Co goes we advised them to call the auction off since they had a lot of interest from real companies and urged them to look at proposals of the various companies to find the buyer who would make the best use of the domain and not sell it necessarily to the highest bidder.
This domain is not going to wind up in the hands of a domainer so there is no reason to promote that domain on this blog.
@Gazzip
“The founders of RIGHT OF THE DOT helped .co successfully launch their extension, position their premium names, and are actively involved in the sale and marketing of their most premium single letter domain name – i.co.”
And judging from the success of the .Co launch, it looks like they’ve been doing a great job
$11.99 is going to be the eventual long term registration fee for .CO I believe going forward.
This is the only way to get more registrations and eventually overtake .com to be the most popular domain extension.
Gazzip are you saying MHB has hyped .co because they are a client of right of the dot ?
One more thing.
and I have chatted about this before
Reporting on stories is not hyping.
point me to one blog post where I said people should buy .Co domains or register a ton of domains or that they were a great investment.
News is not opinion
@ Robert Cline
“This is the only way to get more registrations and eventually overtake .com to be the most popular domain extension.”
The fact that there are people out there who think .CO will ever surpass .COM is unbelievable IMO.
Even as hyped up as .CO has been out of the gates, .COM has 3X as many regs per month as .CO has total.
In November 2010 for instance there were 2.3M new .COM regs, and a net gain of 621,000 .COM. That is for one month after 91M+ .COM are already regged.
Brad
EnCirca will be offering first year dot-co domains for $11.99 as well.
@Brad
You make my point clearly.
10,000,000 renewals has to happen with .com just to stay even, just to stay where they’re at.
Once everyone realizes that they can get the real domain they always wanted
They will ditch their .com for the .CO just like
O.CO has done.
Who do you think will double their registration
.CO or . com
Case closed
End of story
Period
@Robert Cline
I admire your ultra-fanatical belief in the future of dotCO, but I’m curious – why does your name link to epier.com?
That logic made no sense, and by the way the story never ends. New extensions will be coming and coming.
Anyone thinking .co is surpassing .com needs to get away from the computer and get on the couch. Then while on the couch be open and honest with the psychiatrist.
@ David J Castello
“I admire your ultra-fanatical belief in the future of dotCO, but I’m curious – why does your name link to epier.com?”
Yes, it doesn’t make sense for someone who thinks .CO will surpass the .COM to not only use the .COM, but leave the .CO unregged.
The domain epier.co is [available] [Register this domain]
Brad
Ok let’s end the argument right now, there will be no extension in my lifetime that will overtake .com
Done
Now having said that I just spent $32k on a .me
in 80 years .com will be dead
everyone will wonder why they even thought of typing in extra characters
.CO will be lasting
Look I have
MOK.CO
doesn’t that look good.
I love typing this domain name.
I would not sell this for anything less than $30,000
F*** THIS OUT! WTF!
DYNADOT BUMPS .CO AHEAD OF .NET ON DOMAIN NAME SEARCH
http://www.fka200.com/2011/02/05/dynadot-bumps-co-ahead-of-net-on-domain-name-search/
Interesting MBH, well with you and Monte onboard it’ll have the best chance possible I’m sure if history is anything to go by
.
I’m not a .co “hater” but I do have concerns about it regarding how generics may be handled in UDRP/WIPO and what impact that may have on other extensions if it all goes tits up ….It seems nobody else here wants to discuss that aspect so I guess time will have to tell on that one.
“Gazzip are you saying MHB has hyped .co because they are a client of right of the dot ?”
No I’m not saying MHB has hyped .co but I was wondering why we did’nt get much feedback when talking about the potential downside of .co from a top influential & knowledgeable domainer when discussing .co so much.
That may be a bit one way but its not the same thing as hype IMHO.
Has there been loads of hype about .co the .com killer, .co the new king, .com is dead etc etc – sure, hype or over enthusiasm, either way everyone is entitled to their own opinion…including me
!
“One more thing.
and I have chatted about this before
Reporting on stories is not hyping.
point me to one blog post where I said people should buy .Co domains or register a ton of domains or that they were a great investment.
News is not opinion”
@ MHB – I know you have’nt said people should go buy .co and that’s entirely up to the individual to decide as always – I do know the difference between reporting news and hype so please don’t take my post that way….and I remember you chatting about this before.
What I will say is its understandable to me now (although it was’nt before) that you might not want to discuss any potential downsides openly if you’re working with/for .co.
So I just won’t ask ones like that any more …sorted I hope
ps) I beleive you already did a post mentioning rightofthedot.com, that’s where I read about it.
“in 80 years .com will be dead”
..in 80 years we’ll all be dead
@ Robert Cline
Do you realize all of GoDaddy’s, and Dynadot’s, decisions are based on money? Dynadot is doing nothing more than capitalizing on GoDaddy’s expensive advertising.
after the super bowl, will be a great time to unload any domains you are wanting to sale. I’m looking to get rid of a few myself.. stumble.co and a11.co
Watch:
A Record number of … NO PAYS!
When the peeps realize they paid Mucho Grande Bucks for aftermarket .Co
that they “thought was a Genuine .Com”
Guess what, CANCELATIONS! Up the yin-yang!
LOL
Gazzip
80 years?
I will be long gone in 30
How would you feel knowing you got burned for 30 bucks on this scam
I always dreamed of having a Columbia extension. .co is a Go Daddy scam they are raking in huge cash for a nothing extension Do not buy into this scam
@Nadia
No, I thought it was from their heart.
Actually it is because it is coming up higher on search.
@Landon
You’re not very smart. That is why they’re lowering the price to $11.99
Juan Diego Calle said about Godaddy.co girl “You will be shocked” Is it Hollywood A list? “You will be shocked! It’s Awesome.”
OOOOhhhhhhhhhhhh! I can’t wait. I peed my pants waiting for this. I can’t sleep. My palms are sweaty. My throat is dry. I can’t wait. HELP!
@free3d
You are an idiot too.
You buy domain names to develop on, you dingbat.
People buy domain names to build their business site on.
Now I understand the twisted tormented .com people on this board. They are out to simply play ya. shame
shame. shame. .com owners on this board should be ashamed of themselves.
I very much doubt that anyone (after seeing the SuperBowl ad) would think that they are registering .COM when the ad will be about .CO.
I do not get your line of thinking.
If they are driven to Godaddy because of the .CO ad, then I am sure they expect to register a .CO domain. I dont see why anyone would think it was a .COM.
But I have a different point of view. I trust that most people actually have a clue on what they are doing. I trust that most people (after seeing a commercial of .CO) would go to Godaddy with the exact intentions on registering a .CO domain name and not think it was .COM.
But that is just the way I see it.
Cheers
“80 years?
I will be long gone in 30”
Me too, I already lasted 25 years longer than I expected to so I’m not complaining
The main man upstairs told me they’ve already applied for .RIP – in rememberence of all the dearly departed.
Hmmm…now that extension could have never-ending potential.
…..Race ya !
(Looks like Frager might already be on to it so we better get a move on)

Hah! Here’s a relevant piece of news on Elliot’s Blog – “Shot accross the bow to domain squatters” – this was definitely timed for this price drop. think again b4 jumping on .CO for the wrong reasons.

World Wide .Com Owners Rejoice:
The statistics are in, it appears that there is a new Cult
of dimwits who have bought into a flawed system called .CO
that will send FREE TRAFFIC to a .Com Internet Website.
Yes, this simple minded group has consented to this new MODEL .Co
and will send you there Traffic to your .COM to profit from FREE
This fanatical group of emotional and easily led simple minds
(who have been know to foam at the mouth, at the mere mention of .Co)
will spend endless hours ranting non sensual abstract thoughts and
accusatory mumblings to anyone that will listen.
WARNING: This group of unstable and mentally unfit believers should be considered dangerous and a regarded as a cult, should you encounter a simple minded .Co believer you should avoid debate and eye contact at all costs
and lead them to believe there misguided thoughts have merit, and you shall
continue to receive there FREE money making traffic to YOUR website.
SHOW CHARITY: I personally sent a .Co owner a cheap Xmas Card thanking them for the “Increase in MY annual Domain Website Traffic and Income”
Landon: How many .co do you have?
Just saw this great quote from Juan Diego Calle, founder and CEO of .CO Internet
“I want to reaffirm our commitment to monitor, enforce, and develop the necessary safeguards against cyber-squatting and all other forms of domain name abuse, as those threats continue to evolve.”
What a bunch of crap.
How many of the top 1000 .com sites are registered in .co and going to parked pages?
An example….craigslist.co
Gazzip
“”What I will say is its understandable to me now (although it wasn’t before) that you might not want to discuss any potential downsides openly if you’re working with/for .co.””
I have done this before and the biggest danger to .Co and most troubling is losing the domain:
http://www.thedomains.com/2011/01/20/purely-descriptive-commonly-used-generic-domain-pokerstrategy-co-taken-in-udrp/
I have also pointed out that I don’t like that registrars are selling .Co without disclosing its a country code:
http://www.thedomains.com/2010/07/25/shouldnt-registrars-at-least-mention-that-co-is-the-country-code-for-colombia/
@steven
Being a magnet for typo traffic .CO does need to take obvious squatting seriously if they want to be seen as a credible option, and not just a great squatter extension leeching off .COM
One I was looking at recently was Chase.co. It is owned by some guy in Korea, and until recently was a page with bank related ads.
I would like to see a list of all .CO regs, because I wonder what % of are just sheer TM squatting.
Brad
@Gazzip
MBH has been clean all along about this indirect association, in fact i called him out on it a couple months ago when Big Lie was bantering some spue,
and Michael was without hesitation gracious but adamant about expressing his views and plans for said future extensions association, i will add this, he also has allowed many comments to come thru that have been challenging to his position and personal interests, he is NOT filtering and is truly running a TRUE Free speech Blog here along, with Elliot and Rick he has the most progressive Honest / Radical Domainers Advocate Board on the Worldwide Internet.
Now excuse me i have to get back into character and wipe the brown of my nose.-)

I found it curious that someone asked this on another board:
Hi, i’m now really confused in choosing between .co domain & .com domain.
I’m now already have .co domain name, but after few days i’ll have .com domain too.
So i create this topic to ask, what domain name i should choose ? .co or .com ?? Which one will be better for SEO ???
“I have also pointed out that I don’t like that registrars are selling .Co without disclosing its a country code”
==========
1. The current “Staging” Market Trial for .CO allows people to get started.
2. The State of .COlorado will certainly make sure .CO continues to work.
3. Lawyers (and ex-Lawyers) really should learn some technical clue about DNS.
GoDaddy is giving new .CO domains for just $7.49 – you need to use the coupon SUPERCO
One of our new .co domains is:
coOPPORTUNITY.co, aka the “Community-Opportunity-Connection”. It’s going to be a local-job-search social-networking site.
We wanted Opportunity.co, but it was already taken…
– TBC
Anyone know what’s wrong with NameJet?
I haven’t been able to access the site the last 12 hrs.
I just tried to type in “thedomains.com” and accidentally left the “m” off…
.Co just makes more sense, don’t you think. Brevity, baby…brevity…
– TBC
Just picked up:
CANED.CO
CATCHES.CO
COMINGS.CO
CLEAVAGES.CO
CLEAVE.CO
All for just $35 bucks. What do you guys think? Any you like?
@ Robert
I am sorry but I don’t see much commercial value in any of those domains. Even in .COM they would not exactly be top shelf keywords.
Are there really many companies that deal in any of those terms? I seriously doubt it.
Brad
Name.com has .CO for $7.77. No promo needed.
@Robert
I like Cleavages.co the best. Its busting with potential.
@Brad
I think you and I are on different planets.
I am thinking more from development perspective
I plan on building a domain drop site with
CATCHES.CO
and
CLEAVAGES.CO
You can guess what that’s going to be about. hahahaha.
@Brad
keywords?
what are you talking about?
I just picked up:
nyand.co
tennishoes.co
I am still looking for other ones.
@sandcastle
we actually own thedomains.co since the launch, why its not pointing to thedomains.com, you would have to ask my tech guy been asking him to get it done, however I do see that the .Co domain has an alexa rank of 7M.
@ Tony
I haven’t had any issues accessing Namejet.com
Just hand-reg’d Electrolysis.TV for 10-bucks…still alot of good .TV’s out there. I could sell this domain next week for $2K, easy…I think I’ll just hang on to it for awhile
– TBC
@ Robert
If you don’t know what keywords are, I would suggest you learn a little bit more before buying any more domains.
What drives the value of domains is commercial value, branding value, memorability, competition, etc.
Brad
@Brad
Are you talking about like:
MATURETUBE.COM
Someone offered $37.5k for this.
but I learned matureporn.com went for $130k
so I said higher.
Rules for buying and selling .CO:
1. The .com is parked
2. GeoKeyword or pure Geo or Industry category killer which are all but gone.
3. Can easily target buyers who understand internet marketing and heavily use PPC like realtors, insurance, law.
4. Price to move at $1,000 or less to end users
I am happy to share because I have bought up all I will. There are many GeoInsurance.co, GeoRealEstate.co, GeoHomes.co, GeoAttorneys.co and GeoLawyers.co available still. Go get em’ !
Love it or hate it, .CO has a place in the Keyword PPC world which is growing too. It will never over-come .com but Kia is no BMW either, yet Kia still has a place in the market. Robert Cline is sharp as a bowling ball and the haters have every right to their opinions. But, some of us chug along selling .CO every week making hundreds for a few minutes of “work.”
@Brad
I took you advice and registered
SEXINCITY.CO
it had over 6,000,000 google searches so it has to be worth something right? What do you think Brad?
I also just registered:
MATURE.COM.CO
DIPPED.CO
COURTING.CO
What do you think? Do you like these? O my god I am setting up for a lot of web site development work.
@ Robert
My advice is to register commercially viable keywords.
“Sex in City” only has 2400 exact Google global searches, and I am sure most of those are to do with the TV show.
Does .CO have a grace delete?
@ Bfitz
Good post. I agree with most of your points. If you deal in solid keywords, and ask realistic prices, money can be made in .CO like in many alternate extensions.
Buying domains with some clear use is is the key.
Brad
@Brad
I think you are wrong about that.
SexinCity all together only has 2400 exact google searches.
However, Sex in City has over 6,000,000
and most are going to type Sex in City not sexincity
@ Robert
Where are you getting these numbers from?
In Google Keyword Tool, which shows search volume, I see 2400 monthly Global searches.
In the keyword tool you need to choose “Exact” under match types. Otherwise you are getting irrelevant results.
Brad
@Brad
I don’t think so. Someone typing in “sex in city” on google search will bring up
SEXINCITY.CO
when properly developed. This is what is most important.
@ Robert
I am trying to help you. If you are not willing to listen I don’t care.
It is your money you are wasting.
Brad
@Brad
for example, if you type in “i love the beach” on google search you will get
ILOVETHEBEACH.COM
Come up first on the search. This makes my point.
“we actually own thedomains.co since the launch, why its not pointing to thedomains.com, you would have to ask my tech guy been asking him to get it done”
=====
WOW, 75,000 domains and a 10 second tech job can not “get done” ?
Round.TUIT.CO ?
@Brad
‘Buying domains with some clear use is is the key.’
Too right. We can all learn by that. The more uses, the higher the price. That’s why generics command so much money.
I just picked up another .co domain name. Hopefully, I can flip it or maybe I will develop it. Tell me what ya’ll think.
computercrash.co
godaddy just sent an email about this – also heres a little helpful coupon..
Type in: SUPERCO for $7.49 CO domains on godaddy – just verifed and it works
CO.NECT.CO
CON.NECT.CO
KI.NECT.CO
@Brad
why no response. I am right. wasn’t I?
anyways, things are going crazy here.
.CO anything has 100+ posts.
nothing comes close to this.
This tells me the immense interest in .CO
Long live the new KING!
Just picked up Pokerville.co.

“I have done this before and the biggest danger to .Co and most troubling is losing the domain:
I have also pointed out that I don’t like that registrars are selling .Co without disclosing its a country code:”
————————–
@ MHB True, You have, although I think there is far more for us to lose than just the .co domain which is what I “was” hoping/trying to discuss further.
Last attempt below then I’ll STHU if noone is interested
Rick can say in a minute what I can say in days and in far less words….and I hate typing
So I’ll point to his last post made today which is in the same vein:
ricksblog.com/my_weblog/
—————————————————–
There are of course other knock on effects that have’nt been mentioned much about .co so far but I think they are worthy of discussion.
Off the top of my head….
1) Generic.co’s fall foul to UDRP/WIPO from .com, .co.uk, .co.kr owners etc = alot of money pissed down the drain and a bloody nose for the domain industry/market (which we’ve kinda taked about about before)
2) New company A) starts a business with a spanky new $20 .co, files/receives a TM & builds a site.
6 months, 1 year later down the road the same domain in .com goes to the drops (as they do), DOMAINER pays $40,000 for it in auction, then Business A) files for “confusingly similar” – eeek
3) Domainer that buys 1,000 .co’s loses 25 in WIPO/UDRP for being “confusing similar” = Labeled cybersquatter which may go against them if they end up in UDRP for one of their VALUABLE .coms that they paid $100,000 for – good chance they could lose it – eeek
4) And then of course the very important one, “if” .co turns out to be the most squatted extension (due to the similarity of .com issue) then the suits may rush FAR REACHING LAWS into place to protect business & TM holders and they sure as hell won’t be in favour of us – eeek
There is a HUGE amount riding on the outcome of this .co extension and the general public will just be hearing about it right now – overtaking the .com or missing the boat is’nt even on my mind at this point TBH.
Personally speaking I don’t think it should have been released/marketed in the way it has been but its much too late for that……the genie is out of the bottle and it will either be magic or mayhem.
@ Landon
I totally agree with what you said in your reply about MHB and other top bloggers being open to comments/other opinions – no question there
“Now excuse me i have to get back into character and wipe the brown of my nose”
LOL
“@Brad
why no response. I am right. wasn’t I?”
I think he gave up trying to help, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink
I am glad to see that most who own dotCO are now considering developing their names. As someone who has been doing it for fourteen years I’d like to make those new to this game aware of something – development success/monetization is MUCH easier if the name gets any direct navigation.
Just reg’d Zork.co, which will eventually be the world’s premier search engine…bigger than Google. We launch in 2013.
Zork.co
– TBC
Instead of people saying, “just google it”, they’ll say “just zork it!”.
Brevity, baby…brevity…;)
– TBC
I see TotalPlay.co is unreg’d…TotalPlay.com gets a ton of traffic. Who’s gonna’ grab it?
TotalPlay.Co could be a sporting goods site, no?
I am going on a buying rampage. I just picked up:
COUGHMEDICINE.CO
I think that has good potential.
Name.com getting in the game. Spoofing Godaddy on their website and offering $7.77 .co registration for a limited time.
@TBC
I like that ‘just zork it’. Brevity is king. Agreed.
@TBC
I just asked a room full of people, and everyone digs ‘zork’. Sparkling idea. Good luck with zork.co.
LOL.
TBC, Zork is an interesting name.
I happen to own Ork.CO…..
Hmmmm… Just “Ork” it…..???
Even smaller.
LOL…. Just having fun with you.
Cheers
Joan Rivers is the new GoDaddy .CO Girl, really…….
Go to GoDaddy.co and see the new GoDaddy “girl”
Joan Rivers? To help build credibility? Wow.
Brad
WOW! WOW! WOW!
That blew me away.
That was great! Everyone is going to be talking about this commercial.
Joan Rivers is very business savvy. She did win the Apprentice afterall.
What a twist. Everyone was thinking some type of physique and it is Joan Rivers. hahaha
WOW! WOW! WOW! that was great!
I LLove the very end, where she pulls on her g-strap. hahahah!
That was just great!
It’s as much of a shocker as the very first Godaddy commercial.
Worst commercial I’ve ever seen.
Seriously, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. (sorry, it was THAT bad)
Total lack of excitement. Even the play on the lack of excitement equalled…well, just that. It was awkward, and creepy. I would have much preferred if they’d gone the traditional route and had Jenny McCarthy or some other hottie up there that would have at least pumped up the crowd a little bit.
A digitally-rendered, genetically-engineered version of Joan Rivers? You have got to be kidding me.
Love you Bob Parsons, and I have 155+ .COs, but that was an **Epic Fail.**
@Nadia
It was great.
The girl doesn’t and shouldn’t draw attention away from the real message.
And it was appetizing enough for you to want to know more.
Anything Joan Rivers, you want to know more so this had that affect.
No, I think it was all Joan Rivers.
Great commercial!
@ Robert
You’re entitled to your opinion, just as I am to mine. So your statement that “it was great” is nothing more than that, a very biased opinion, seen through the lens of unbridled enthusiasm and distorted reality.
I really think you’re more into the arguments themselves, rather than what you’re actually arguing about. Any one of us could say something, and you’d argue the other viewpoint, just to throw your two cents in there.
It’s okay that we don’t see eye to eye. I don’t instantly say that everything in life is “great,” just because. I’m thrilled that you’re living in some sort of happy bubble, but out here in the real world, there’s a collective “WTF” echoing through the halls about that commercial.
@Nadia
That’s exactly the effect they were going for: for you to stay WTF!
and get you chopping like you are right now.
Let’s say if it was Gwenthyn Paltrow.
Everyone would just look at her and say “Oh that’s nice” and forget all about it.
Pretty is a dime a dozen. People forget those.
But on the other hand.
No one will forget Joan Rivers commercial. Yah I say the same thing, exactly:
WTF!!
LLL.CO ‘s are all but gone now.
after the commercial
I think there is like 7 left
Thnaks for sharing this information here.
I think that the commercial was interesting. The first thing that crossed my mind is, “Is Joan Rivers really that hot. LOL. That would have been a whole lot of plastic surgery.
Also, since that commercial I have been picking up some .co names and I might hold on to them unless I am offered a decent price.
I just picked up:
MALPRACTICELAWSUITS.CO
I am probably going to pick up blacklove.co and marinara.co as well. There are a few .co’s out there that may have some value to them.
I’m usually a fan of GoDaddy because of their auction area and domain controls, but I can’t stand their commercials. Time to change it up.
