You’ve gotta hand it to former Mayor Mike Bloomberg, he knows his short-comings and he’s determined to beat you to the joke. At some point after the .nyc name became a thing that exists, the billionaire mogul began buying up as many useful — as well as embarrassing –domains related to his name as he could.
According to Domain Name Wire, 400 separate .nyc domains have been bought by a law firm on his behalf.
Of course he covers things he might need, like:
mayormichaelbloomberg.nyc and bloombergphilanthropy.nyc
But he also knows everyone resents his money:
billionairemichaelbloomberg.nyc and michaelbloombergistoorich.nyc
He knows haterz gonna hate:
ihatebloomberg.nyc and fuckbloomberg.nyc
He knows that even if you like him, you just can’t be trusted:
michaelbloombergiscool.nyc and michaelbloombergrocks.nyc
He knows he’s a weiner that sucks and is really short:
bloombergisaweiner.nyc and michaelbloombergsucks.nyc and michaelbloombergistooshort.nyc
He knows you remember that time he stole a third term:
kingbloomberg.nyc and michaelrbloombergrules.nyc
But he’s also a philanthropist and if you’re name is Mike too, he’s got your back:
MikeIsTooShort.nyc and sayyeptomike.nyc and getalifemike.nyc
Check out the full list here and start buying up all those domains he’s missed. We suggest michaelbloombergruinedmycity.nyc, it can just redirect to Vanishing New York.
