Before I get back to my stripper ramblings, I come before the MikeSouth.com readers today seeking a little advice.
I’m not exactly what you’d would call a businessman. I’ve made an extended career out of trying to figure out creative scenarios to shoot drunk twenty somethings for reality television. That’s about it. I wouldn’t even know how to make a dime online unless someone physically held my fucking hand the entire time and did all the work for me. That’s why I find myself today in a very peculiar fucking situation.
There was a lot of talk last September during the presidential campaign about Barack Obama using a teleprompter for a majority of his campaign stump speeches. As a goof, I thought it would be funny to buy the domain ObamasTeleprompter.com for no reason whatsoever other than the goof factor. It wasn’t a political statement. Just something stupid. Prior to that, I had never purchased a domain other than my own name.
Fast forward 7 months later. Day after day the national news cycle is filled with stories about Obama and his teleprompter now. Rush fucking Limbaugh even mentioned my domain on his radio show today I found out a little while ago. How the fuck does a guy like me with a Michelin Man neck end up having one of the hottest domain names in the country? It is the luck equivalent of a retard with a 14 inch cock. From now on, it’s probably best that I stay indoors during lightening storms and start using condoms. Well, you could be a hot chick with a frequent customer card at a Hatian blood bank and I would still fuck you like a zoo exhibit without a condom. I won’t bullshit you.
The moral of the story is this. Me posting on MikeSouth.com is like wagering on cock fighting. It’s for entertainment purposes only. I don’t do blatant self-promotion here. I just have no idea what the fuck I should do with this domain name. Any advice from the web pros would be appreciated.

Well you have the right initial idea…sell it but if you do so sell it quick, while the value is high
if you want to develop it my first thought is to do videos of his teleprompter saying funny or outrageous (or both things), you can do this purely with an editing program obviously
Id also look at adding video clips of his teleprompter screw ups and of course inviting user submissions of all of the above
Im sure other stuff will come to miond but you should probably act fast…really fast
something about windows of opportunity
lol. pretty creative. if your goal is to make intelligent fun of obama then more power to you. personally i wouldn’t want to be part of any right wing (or worse left-wing) blog roll-call list.
ps drop google analytics into your splash page…see where your traffic is coming from and what it is
Mike, I can’t thank you enough for your great advice. You are right on. I will get to work here producing something. I’ll be sure to spread the wealth as well if I can make anything happen with it.
Steve call me if ya want to Im happy to help any way I can man
email me for my number
if ya dont have it already
DB the company that is doing that is phishing for domains that they can get when they expire, they are looking to see if the email bounces
They may also be looking to forge the header and steal the domain
Dont respond
Thanks for the heads up DB. I appreciate it.
