Haterism & Viva Mustachio!
I picked up yet another domain name this week. This time, it is haterism.com. The term comes from a Dungeon Family lyric that had always made me laugh: "And I keep a box of extra clips / Cuz haterism is a trip."
I got the domain on a whim after my coworkers and I noticed that we always referred to any criticism within our little work group as "hatin'" or "playa hatin'" or "haterism." So we thought it would be funny to create a website that celebrates both playa hatin' and playa appreciatin'.
Some of our random ideas included a blog dedicated to calling out haters (like the NFL after fining Randy Moss for the fully-clothed, simulated moon). And we might just have a section, sort of like HotOrNot.com, where you can "hate" or "appreciate" as you step through a series of celebrity photos. Of course, there could be an e-mail newsletter called HateMail.
BTW, the last domain that I registered on a whim, VivaMustachio.com, will be used to create the "premier destination for mustache enthusiasts" (whatever that means). Think of it as a MulletsGalore for the new millennium.
So go ahead and add those links to del.icio.us now.
