Tea Party Domain Name Owned By Canadian Rockers, Could Fetch $1 Million

In 1990 the Canadian rock band “Tea Party” made a decision that they couldn’t possibly have known would net them $1 million 21 years later, buying the website name “TeaParty.com” to promote their namesake.

At this time group members, who recently reunited after breaking up six years ago haven’t decided to sell, telling BusinessWeek:

“As Canadians we’re somewhat sensitive to all the criticism of socialized medicine,” while adding, “We’ve considered lending the name to Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart to have them dispel some of the stuff that the Tea Party says.”

The group says they won’t sell to a right wing leaning organization but would consider selling the URL to a left winging columnist like Arianna Huffington.

One band member thinks they need to act quickly before interest in the Tea Party and the TeaParty.com name wane. His response about the sale “We’ve got families.”

So there you have it, the Tea Party is being blacklisted by a Canadian rocker group who would rather give up a million dollars than see the party take control of the domain name. Could you imagine how much worse the U.S. would be viewed if we had a Tea Party president in the oval office?

Who do you think should buy the Tea Party domain name from the band?
