Donut Domain Survey (part 1).
I am shopping for another domain name for a fun little secret project that
will probably never get off the ground because I'm an incompletist bastard.
I was hoping to get donut.com, which really has nothing to do with the
project but everyone likes donuts and donuts are easy to remember. Donuts!
But of course some naming agency snapped that name up THE JERKOFFS. Now
I am looking at alternatives like DONUTSINYOURFACE.COM or whatever. So here
is a quick rundown of interesting donut-type domains that have nothing to
do with your major donut vendors.
donutgirl.com - strange, but in a
good way. Some photos, and then "products" (including scary '70s PHOTO CUBE)
that feature the photos, but no way to purchase said products.

donuts-inn.com - some donut place in
some foreign land (Turkey?). But it has a nice picture of many donuts.

donutboy - some kind of game that requires
shockwave and is moving to shockrave.com and I don't care.

donutsonarope.com - doesn't seem to
work but it looks like it's another pre-emptive strike by a marketing
research firm. "Gentlemen...I believe donuts-on-a-rope.com will be in big
demand in the coming year." These guys also bought thisisajewishhouse.com
and dazzlingradiance.com. Keep those fingers crossed, fellers!

donutworld.com - a producer for
Nippon Television Broadcast Network includes a few interviews with Hollywood
people, a few projects, and looks through a donut hole on the main page.

donutsystems.com - donut SYSTEMS?
Another amazing marketing guess. There are just too many of these stupid
donut-domain guesses so I'm not going to list any more in this important
forum no matter how stupid they are.

donuts.net - this seems to be just links
to donut-related items and recipes, which is not bad, but, really, put a
stick about and let's see some original donut content at this domain!

donutbox.com - owned by Calling
Cartons(R), a donut-box manufacturing company. you could print up 500 donut
boxes with a picture of something really stupid!

donutdisaster.com - this takes
you straight to the Hasbro homepage, like a lot of other domain names. Like
for example, candyland.com, which used to be owned by a porn shop, and there
was this big ole' lawsuit and i forgot what happened, but it looks like
JUSTICE WAS SERVED because we all know that Candyland means THE CUTE LITTLE
BOARD GAME and not NAKED PEOPLE RUBBING AGAINST EACH OTHER. Anyway, Hasbro
has done a bang-up job of not helping out the casual web-surfing consumer
who ends up here via candyland.com or donutdisaster.com because there's
nothing on the home page about 'em. GO HASBRO!

donutz.com - this is a SPECIAL WEBSITE
that is intended ONLY for the employees of Tim Horton's store #1516 so don't
try to crack the password and read all the TOP-SECRET DONUT ARTICLES!

donutman.com - this site is dedicated
to the teachings of Rob Evans, the "Donut Man". Rob wants all the children
of the world to know that life without Jesus is like a donut because there's
a hole in the middle of your heart. Rob operates the "donut repair shop",
fixing real donuts with a "round pastry donut hole", if you can follow the
real-world analogy in motion here. Perhaps you'd like to buy a videotape or
ten, or maybe the audio tapes, or the song books, or a t-shirt! Praise
donuts...praise Jesus...praise Commerce.

donutdog.com - by all appearances, this
is a site whose mascot is a dog that swallowed a large donut. Or rather, is
a dog in the shape of a donut, along with a hole. I know of no such
creature. I do know about cows that have plastic panels installed in them
at state fairs so kids can see the internal pistons and such. This should
not be confused with the "butter cows" of state fairs, that is, cows created
entirely out of butter. These would have no plastic panels, because all you
would see behind the panel is more butter. Anyway, this site has way too
much in the way of navigational tools considering the amount of content
offered (none).
