Barbecue Chain Buys Porn Web Site for $6G
 

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Surfers trying to find the barbecue chain Sticky Fingers on the Internet no longer face the possibility of ending up at a much saucier Web site.

The Charleston company spent $6,000 to buy the address www.stickyfingers.com from a site offering pornography.

"Now we don't have to talk to angry customers calling, thinking we're perverts," said Jeff Goldstein, one of three men who own the 15-restaurant chain in the Carolinas, Florida and Tennessee.

During the 10 years the restaurant tried to buy the domain name, the company received a couple of calls a day from upset people who found porn instead of ribs and sauce, Goldstein said.

Since taking over the address, site visits have more than quadrupled and online sales have doubled, co-owner Chad Walldorf said.

low price

They made out on that one for sure.

Indeed they did :2 cents:

heh pretty funny, price seems a bit low though :-/

with 2257 i guess it wasn't the hassle anymore

I would of held out for 6,000.00 and a truckload of BBQ sauce.

sticky fingers would have been a great name for a hand job site.

only 6k? :Oh crap

Maybe they thoght the BBQ biz would try to take it in court and they couldnt afford that fight so they sold it cheap ?

or

... they were just stupid.

why would you call and bitch at a barbeque company because you can't use google correctly to find their url? i am also suprised they didn't hold out for me, the company obviously is seething over that url.

StickyFingers makes a great sauce, their classic mustard based is my favorite. Funny, I just made up about 7 pounds of pork bbq this morning and used that sauce.

You learn something new every day. The only "Sticky Fingers" eatery I knew of until now was Bill Wyman's restaurant in Kensington. I hadn't noticed he has http://www.stickyfingers.co.uk/ (don't bother, it's offline with problems right now) and not .com

yep, dumbass owner must of needed some quick cash, could of held out for alot more.

The former owner got robbed on that deal.

Must be something special in that sauce :winkwink:

Time to do humanity a favour and start putting arsenic in the sauce.
