As some of you know I launched a website less than a month ago, but all the domain names I think best fit what I am doing are taken.

I posted asking for suggestions for a rename for the site over on metafilter.com, but since I included the current site URL, it was seen as through I was trying to promote the domain I want to get rid of, and the post appropriately deleted (if they indeed believed this, ignored my track record, and disregarded the stupidity of the idea of trying to suck people into a site I intend to re-fucking-name!). But I still have the problem, still hate the name.

The site consists of me sending questions, concerns, observations, or plain old ink soaked stupidity to companies, individuals, institutions, and luminaries of various sorts, then posting my original letter, the reply (and image of), and commentary on both.

This is not a new idea, nor am I pretending it is. I’m running with the premise from the Lazlo Toth books, the “Letters from an Idiot” books, with a bit of “Thanks for the Memos” and “The Yes Men” thrown in.

I would like help renaming the site. I prefer a .com site, but will consider others. The domain has to be available (obviously). Due to self-imposed constraints it can only be one of the following TLDs: .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, or .us, since these are the only ones pairNIC.com handles. Ok, so they also do .cn and .ws, but since I am neither Chinese nor Western Samoan (that I know of) I think these would be kinda crappy.

Tweaking the noses of entities with a bit of power or fame is nothing new. There’s a long tradition of this, but invoking the “Yes Men,” “Michael Moore,” or “Lazlo Toth” might make it seem like I am pretending I play in their league. I’m not. I don’t. All the same, I invite you to check out jackassletters.com.

I would like to say the URL says it all, but since I don’t really believe it does, and I intend to change it soon, not giving a better description would be a jackass’s game. There’s work to be done, but I think it’s good enough to show.

Currently I am running a contest to rename the site. I want to get this done as quickly as possible, since I would like to rename it before it becomes the #1 destination on the internet for young and old! Or, well, before the Cease and Desist letters start to arrive. If you have an idea for a name, that you don’t mind me registering, drop me an email (click my name pretty near anywhere on this site), or visit the jackassletters.com and use one of my feedback forms.

I fired up a contest there, but since it’s a new site, it really doesn’t have that much traffic yet, so have had no response from that. I tried to do a better job of explaining why I want rid of the name on the contests page.

I still have a bit of work to do before I am ready to promote the site.

And for the record, there are no ads on the site, there is no membership fee, or any other money making scam that will suck you in just by visiting. This of course will change some day, and with the proper domain name I will take over the internet and you will work for me!
