John McCain Considers Sarah Palin a MILF

Okay, this has absolutely nothing to do college recruiting, jobs, internships, work, employment, or any other career related issue. I was just cruising Twitter for some ideas for today’s blog article when I ran across a flurry of conversations regarding the newly registered domain name, VoteForTheMILF.com. Apparently, the quasi-pornographic domain name is owned by John McCain’s campaign and takes visitors to JohnMcCain.com.
Even amongst his most ardent supporters, few would consider McCain to be a MILF so what is going on? Well, it appears that visitors to JohnMcCain.com who are referred by VoteForTheMILF.com are shown a video of Sarah Palin. So could McCain be sending the message that he considers Palin to be a MILF? Given that McCain has admitted that he’s a technophobe, I doubt he even knows what MILF means let alone was involved in plotting any type of strategy about what video to show visitors from the MILF site versus people who come to his site from other sites.

Bizarre but there may be an explanation. One strategy in owning domains is to buy domains that may be used against you by hostile entities. So we CollegeRecruiter.net and CollegeRecruiter.org and some other variations on that to prevent hostile competitors from owning and, in our eyes, misusing those domains. It is also one of the reasons we acquired the domain name EntryLevelJobs.net last winter.
So what probably happened is that someone in the McCain campaign made the wise decision that they didn’t want a Barack Obama supporter buying VoteForTheMILF.com and then using it to create mischief. But McCain’s campaign should have been smarter than to re-direct traffic from the questionable domain name to JohnMcCain.com. You can own domains and not use them. Whoever chose to re-direct it to the main site surely knew that. At least, I would hope that someone involved in issues like that for the campaign would have known that.
