Sometimes characters in TV shows will mention a web address, usually as a joke. Imagine all the people that might try that web address!
Let's make a sport out of this. When potentially fake web addresses are mentioned in TV shows, a player will scramble to look it up. If it's not taken, (quickly!)
register for that domain. Put up pay-per-view advertisements, petitions, obscenities, anything! Tens of thousands of people might see it soon.

And this is an invention, how? |
|
| |
It wouldn't work with first run shows, but there are lots of reruns out there in TVLand. |

//Given that it takes at least a couple of days for new domains to wend their way through the system// The last 4 domains that I've registered were "through the system" in less than 2 hours. |

It USED to take a couple of days. |
|
| |
True. I bought a domain for a friend a week or so ago and I bought hosting from the same company and the whole thing was up and running within minutes. I was amazed. |

Okay, objection withdrawn. |
|

I assume most shows would register any fictional domain they mention well before the episode airs, to avoid issues like this... |
