Fox ready for 21st century with domain registrations — 20th Century

Firm registers domain names of current and future centuries.

When 20th Century Fox (aka Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation) was founded in the 1930s I’m sure it seemed like a great name.

But now that we’re in the 21st century, doesn’t the name seem a little old fashioned? Like Prince talking regarding partying like it’s 1999?

Although this isn’t necessarily indicative of a name change, the entertainment firm recently registered names that will get it through the millennium. It registered:

22ndcenturyfox.com
24thcenturyfox.com
25thcenturyfox.com
26thcenturyfox.com
27thcenturyfox.com
28thcenturyfox.com
29thcenturyfox.com

Note that 23rdcenturyfox.com is missing. That’s since someone else registered it years ago. So perhaps this is just a defensive move.

The firm also registered variants of these domains, such as TwentySecondCenturyFox.com.
