Scooby states fresh TLDs will be full of scams and the options will stink
Ruh roh! Choice will be limited and scam sites will persist in fresh top level domains.
When I come home from work I like to kick my feet up, crack open a beer and watch a couple episodes of the fresh Scooby Doo*.
Last night while watching the gang solve another mystery, I saw the future of fresh top level domain names as stated by Scooby Doo. It wasn’t pretty.
Fred’s father bought an amusement park attraction on the site “Haunted Attractions For Sale dot Scare”, as he called it.
Later in the episode, you get to see the actual site:
That domain totally doesn’t pass the radio test. It’s actually HauntedAttractions4Sale.scare, not “for” sale.
Man, all the good .scare domains must have by now been taken. I don’t know who applied for .scare (probably Donuts), but they must be selling a lot of registrations for Mayor Jones to stoop this low.
It gets worse. (Spoiler alert!) Velma discovers that the website is actually a fake! It turns out someone (I won’t give it all away) created the fake site to dupe Fred’s dad.
The Association of National Advertisers was right. Fresh TLDs are a bad thing that will lead to more scams on the net. And those fresh TLD applicants would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for that meddling Dan Jaffe!
* OK, really it’s my daughter who likes to do this. Watching Scooby Doo, that is.
