How to quickly get on the NSA shit list - buy the presidents wifes domain name! lmfao FAIL!

(although I did consider buying it to donate to the whitehouse but thought better of it)

The auction winner (assuming the domain will be paid for) better develop this domain... fast.

Some celebrity domains withstood WIPO because they were developed (bona fide usage), but I'm not sure it's worth the money and the hassle here.
In 2016 the domain will be even less valuable.

I don't see Michelle running for office anytime soon, now if this was Hillary Clinton dot com then you might have some real potential & value here but then again not worth having the govt or their henchmen up your ass! I think the last thing you want in this case is to win a wipo against them lol yeah I'm sure they would just let it go :uhoh:

Plus I think people should have their own names like this, it's kind of ridiculous Godaddy would even let this one goto auction very poor judgement I think.

In theory the registrars could be dragged in a lawsuit too, because they are knowingly profiting off TM domains by auctioning them.

Public figure. Fair game. "Fair use...for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement." just don't put any ads on it. It is a bad idea to register someones name but the registrant can easily be covered.

Deleted.... Had my facts wrong, I see the domain expired and GoDaddy auctioned it, even worst. The buyer is still an idiot though....

Reminds me of another recent incident involving an individuals name.

chip, those mere mortals rules do not apply to the presidents or the first lady who enjoy executive privileges my friend, I am willing to bet a farm on it
