Another silly advertising Boob by a HUGE car dealer

[gazzip]

I just watched an ad on TV last night for Mercedes (in UK), the ad was about "something trying to attract your attension" and how most things don't.

Funny thing is even though they used a clumbsy looking hyphen domain they did'nt reg the .com or the non hyphen .co.uk - and they don't use the domain in some of their online ad banners at all.

I must admit I thought the ad on the TV said .com but I only saw it for a split second so I'm not sure.

watch the video - www.iammercedes-benz.co.uk


Its amazing that they would'nt bother to reg the .com and non hyphen versions when they had the chance at reg fee :tri:


....Of course, someone else did ! (not me)



Well, I suppose they did get my attension in a round about way :hehe:

anyways, other versions infringe on copyrighted "mercedes benz" so they can easily be taken away. that doesn't mean of course that until they are taken away the owner wouldn't make a bit of cash parking...
I wouldn't register such names though, it's the reason why many of the general public see domainers as cybersquatters

Yeah , me neither

Mercedes will probably end up paying more by people clicking the ad links than the domains would have cost to reg :hehe:
