Scarlett Johansson Wins Domain Name

scarlette-johansson

Would you like a chance to win a “threesome” with the beautiful actress Scarlett Johansson? Yep, me too! Apparently, in August of 2008 there was a contest on ScarlettJohansson.com that asked visitors if they were “up for a threesome with Scarlett”. However, the term “threesome” did not entitle the winner to getting down and dirty with the lovely Ms. Johansson as I’m sure many of the website’s visitors had hoped for. Instead, the term “threesome” referred to a movie date experience consisting of three people to one of the stars upcoming films.

scarlette-johansson1As you may have already guessed, Scarlett Johansson had no affilation with the website nor did she consent to the blantant use of her name and image. At the time of the contest, the domain name ScarlettJohansson.com was owned by self-proclaimed “internet artist” Tristan Dare of 900 Pound Guerrilla Way, Gibraltar (Yes, 900 Pound Guerrilla Way. You can practically fill in anything for a registrant.). Dare indicated that the website received 100,000 visits over 4 days and 10,000 people entered the “threesome” contest. The website also received some media coverage around the time when Scarlett Johansson was the most-searched celebrity on Yahoo.com in the 48 hours immediately preceding the release date of Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Undoubtedly, these sketchy events caused Scarlett Johansson to file a domain name arbitration case with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) seeking to become the new registrant of the dot com that bears her name. On December 16, 2008, the arbitration decision was to award Ms. Johansson the rights to the domain name ScarlettJohansson.com. Congratulations!

The world-famous actress and celebrity, Scarlett Johansson has starred in numerous movies such as The Prestige , Lost in Translation, Eight Legged Freaks and Frank Miller’s newly released movie The Spirit.
