Dot-Sucks Web Contest!

How many corporations do you think \"SUCK\"?

What are your favorites? Are you willing

to create a web site devoted to your favorite

\"sucky\" corporation?

Name.Space will provide free web hosting

(NO ADS!) and domain registration under the

\".SUCKS\"* domain to the 10 best (unique)

submissions!

Sites will be judged on originality, humor,

and political\/social relevance.

Some examples of possible sites may include:

WTO.SUCKS

DISNEY.SUCKS

AOL.SUCKS

CNN.SUCKS

TIMEWARNER.SUCKS

NIKE.SUCKS

MONSANTO.SUCKS

(and so on...)

Send your submissions to:

dot-sucks@namespace.org<\/a>

You should have the pages up

and running somewhere (you can

build it on one of the free web

providers--we'll look past the

oblgitory ads). Submissions

should include the URL of the

site and a brief description.

The site itself must speak for

itself.

Deadline: 01.01.01

The \".SUCKS\" domain is published

and operated by Name.Space and is

reserved for parody and free speech.

No corporations or individuals may

register in a \".SUCKS\" domain in

order to squelch criticism. Name.Space

will screen all applicants to confirm

that they are NOT the holders of the

\"trademark\" or \"brand\" name that

\".SUCKS\".

*To resolve \".SUCKS\" and more than

500 other new TLDs, and to show your

solidarity for media autonomy, switch

your DNS settings (in your TCP\/IP

controls) to Name.Space by following

the simple instructions at

http:\/\/namespace.org\/switch<\/a>

**The domains \"Microsoft.Sucks\"

and \"MPAA.Sucks\" are already registered!

namespace.org\/switch
