The Tiger Woods domain names available on Ebay are mostly hilarious

Friday, December 11th, 2009

When it comes to the American news cycle, there’s two can’t-fail ways to incubate a good scandal – compound lying and unabashed stupidity. For instance, going on The Today Show, wearing a temple stud and trying to convince the public that 99% of the rumors that you’re a hussy aren’t true.

Jamie Jungers may have found a way to concoct some sort of unabashed secret sauce of stupid lies, that could keep this baby cycling until we start drawing correlations between the Tiger list and the Madoff list. She’ll singularly standout once this all passes (her, jaimiee grubbs, probably if there’s a lucky #18 on the ‘on the sly’ list…), but the hustlers on Ebay trying to make a gazillion % profit off a Tiger URL that they parked on GoDaddy for $10/year are doing their part on a tier-two level of ridiculousness scope.

If you search for Tiger Woods, categories: “all categories,” and sort by priced highest, the first five and nine of the first ten items listed are Woods-related domains.

An autographed painting of what looks like Tiger with Pangaea in the background for $1,000,000 is listed for a lower price than both Tigerection.com and TigerGotWood.com.

The soft sell for some of these is truly hilarious. For instance, the merchant of Tigersharem.com would like you to let you know that TigersHarem.com would make an “Excellent Business name, especially for the Adult Porn Strip Club Market.” Or if you pick up for TailsofTigerWoods.com, which has a starting bid of $21,000,000, you get a free hat and t-shirt with purchase.

If you want to get in on the Tiger URL market but are too late to the game to get say Tiagrawoods.com, there’s always something like SteviesSeconds.com, which is not going to be great for search out of the gate.
