"Don’t want your customers to think your brand sucks?
Well, if you want to avoid that online insult, you may have to pay up to $3,000 to secure the new “.sucks” domain.
Already Yahoo, Apple, other major brands and many smaller ones have shelled out a large fee to ensure no one else can sign up to create a website with the address apple.sucks, yahoo.sucks or other trademarks with the dot-sucks domain.
May 29 is the final day for trademark holders to secure rights for dots sucks and a number of other top domains before they become generally available.
After the May 29 deadline, anybody will be able to register a dot-sucks domain for $249 US if they want to use it for a website or $199 if the intent is simply to block others from using it.
Starting next fall, Vox Populi will be offering dot-sucks domains to consumers who want to host a forum discussion website, with the domain holders offered a free, hosted website. The company expects the price for consumers will drop below $10 US."

Just followed by ISIS?!

I don't get it. ICANN has approved a registry that, more or less, have an agenda and business idea of blackmailing companies?!

Ps. Why didn't I apply for the name .is-a-bedwetter? :$: -_-

If you look at it another way business slows so they let people pay the 185k application fee for domain extension to be added. Registration is where the money is you get to with hold all good domains and add them to your portfolio for 18 cents ICANN fee. Against ICANN policies but obviously going on everywhere.
