While some of the biggest brands in Entertainment, Sports, Politics, Technology and Pop Culture registered some 3,400 new gTLD’s in the new .sucks domain extension, in the Sunrise period for up to $2,499 for each domain, there were some glaring misses of some of the most criticized, controversial and most talked about companies, celebrities and public figures.
There are not domain registration so far for any of these as of publication:
Kanyewest.sucks
Kardashians.sucks
KimKardashian.sucks
JustinBieber.sucks
Twitter.sucks
FoxNews.sucks
NewYorkTimes.sucks
CNN.sucks
Donuts.sucks
LindsayLohan.sucks
BillCosby.sucks
BarackObama.sucks
and Yes ICANN.sucks is available but it will cost you $185,000 a year to express that using that method.
For the record ICANN Sucks for allowing .Sucks to make millions by selling people defensive domain names at up to $2,500 a year.
Now I just saved myself $185,000
Michael-perhaps that’s because the extension sucks. Happy Father’s day!
Spot on! No one cares, no one will type it in naturally therefore no need to get blackmailed.
blackmail only works so far and they all have resources to take it to court and file 100k or millions in damages. Trademarks still hold solid no matter what extension. Good for them not playing into the bs. Love entrepreneurs and free makers but if you have a brand and trademark there will be huge class actions coming very soon. Sooner then later. I’ll bet in next 6 months
Most if not all are either reserved or blocked.
And comcast.sucks is a sunrise domain with no nameservers thus not in the zone file.
Not true a couple were reserved but all domains remaining in the story are showing as available to be registered
Get.sucks
Now if the whois of the registry is off nothing I can do about that
AllOfTheNewGtlds.Suck
These celebrities figured BurgerKing and Metallica have the most to lose.

I can’t agree more!!
This nTLD is going to get the founders a good front seat at jail-time. For what they have done and continue to do really wrong. Wait for it. A Class Action lawsuit will happen. And even more… governments will have to step in to wrangle control of what ICANN totally messed up on this. Ask all the companies paying $2,500 ransom fees for “protection” in this domain extension. Does this not sound like the mafia? I highly suggest people start reading up specially on “extortion”, “racketeering” and “coercion” specifically. The more you read the more you will understand this operation is operating outside the boundaries of most laws in most countries. Especially being a Canadian company. I have far too much research on this to release everything I know at this point and I continue to amass against this company.
I suggest others to formulate their own opinions. Mark my words. This operation will be shut down. And if for a single minute it is not, it is a huge slap in ICANN’s face. This is ICANN’s big f-up, and they took in significant amounts of money for making it happen!!
I can’t remember who called this “Extortion”. Oh wait, I can. It was Congressman Darrell Issa who sat as chairman of the recent congress hearing on 5/13/2015 over the IANA / ICANN transition on the .sucks domain and ICANN’s ability to govern the new gTLD Internet.
