Forbes Digs Up Some Poop

Forbes is running a feature on the top corporate hate sites. “To honor these quixotic champions, we spent hours trawling the Web looking for the very best corporate hate sites.” I must say, this seems an odd thing to do for a magazine which regularly covers these very corporations in a positive light. At any rate, here’s the list:

KBhomesucks.com
Paypalsucks.com
Allstateinsurancesucks.com
MS-Eradication.org
Amexsux.com
WalMart-Blows.com
Verizonpathetic.com
Untied.com
UnitedPackageSmashers.com
While it did not make the list, BestBuySux.org is one of my personal faves. Best Buy is a retailer I will never again visit, after becoming aware of (and subject to) their draconian restocking fees.

    Thanks Jack. I’m curious who’s behind the Flickrsucks site. I looked it up on BetterWhoIs, but I can’t determine whether the registrant is associated with Flickr or not. Perhaps it’s simply the work of another brand evangelist spreading good vibes (because he can).
