Once upon a time there was a man named Joe who wanted to be a player in the "biggest game on the Internet."
He planed to build an Internet kingdom.
So he registered the following domains:
hahaaffiliate
hahaagent
hahaagents.com
hahaalaska.com
hahaamerica.com
hahaamerican.com
hahabr.com
hahabrazil.com
hahabs.com
hahabusiness.com
hahabz.com
hahaca.com
hahacab.com
hahacalifornia.com
hahacanada.com
hahaegypt.com
hahaelectric.com
hahaemail.com
hahaengineer.com
hahaengineering.com
hahaengland.com
hahaes.com
hahaetoys.com
hahaeverything.com
hahafamily.com
hahawinestore.com
hahawinner.com
hahawoman.com
hahaya.com
hahayahoo.com
and literally hundreds of thousands like them.
His theory was that each domain has its own content, for example:
hahamap.com selects the top site from every major category.
hahaautos.com is a portal for used car.
hahaboard.com is a category indexed public message board.
hahafranchise.com is a site for franchise partners share their traffic.
hahaamerica.com is a site about this great country.
And so on....
But all domains were under hahainternet.com.
Type any of them in today and you'll see where vanity domains will lead tomorrow.
Whether HAHA comes before or AFTER the dot, the joke will always be on you.

People are already celebrating the launch of dotParis. Oh dear. (http://snurl.com/2t3e7)
Earlier today I was looking through todays drop list. And today alone there are 2 people's dreams going to drop shortly. One with just under a 1000 themed/prefixed .com domains and one with well over 1500 themed/prefixed domains .com names.
It’s sad to see these failed dreams but the cost of the annual registrations is significant drain on revenues never mind the cost of developing and managing original content across so many domains.
