in the consumer protection realm.

.sucks domain names are up for grabs starting Mar 30, if you have the money that is.

They, of course, will work nicely as consumer complaint sites, hence the mental, if not actual, tie-in to Nader.

This ad is obscene.

Our consumerist society sucks and Ralph Nader sucks.

I suspect J. Edgar Hoover's FBI caught Ralph Nader in some compromising position and folded him, or maybe Nader just naturally sucks.

For whatever it's worth, Nader did save big corporate U.S.A. from the very worst of it's own excesses.

But I'd rather have a living MLK over some sucky corporation.
