It sucks, but that's business. I just think that sometimes, people need to loosen up and not take everything so seriously. That's one of the reasons I love DomainGang. @Shane – You couldn’t have said it any better. It sucks, but that’s business.

Some times you hit it and other times you get sued. South Butt was funny and Acro you can be at times , but that’s the beauty of comedy. Some times you hit it and other times you get sued.

Clearly there are some differences. The DomainGang isn't coming close to infringing on somebody's trademark like South Butt has done, but I was just bringing up the part about people not understanding and taking offense to the parody. Keep up the great blogging :) P.S. I won't be attending TRAFFIC Las Vegas, hopefully I'll be able to make it to the next domaining event. Acro, I appreciate your response.

There's a difference between parody and libel; obviously in the case of South Butt there were other things at stake. One needs to draw a fine line. It's true that some corporations don't possess an understanding of what constitutes freedom of speech - a protected element of which is parody. For example, GoDaddy was quick to approve of our parody site, GoMilfy.com. Another good case of parody content is the Onion.com which delivers "spoof" news about politics, lifestyle, local and world events. We strive to do the same in the niche market of domaining & technology. At DomainGang.com, while we often deliver "real" or "mainstream" content, when we do so we give it a humorous angle; there is too much regurgitated news in the market. See you in TRAFFIC Las Vegas!
