Someone at Amazon's legal department has the best job: dreaming up anti-Amazon URLs and then buying them before anyone else can. Alex Shephard showed the fruits of this unknown worker's labor on Twitter today.

Screwamazon.com, amazonstinks.com, and amazonsucks.com also belong to the retail giant. It's common practice for companies to do this, but whoever's in charge at Amazon of snapping up web addresses before they can be used by disgruntled customers hasn't covered all the bases — there's still plenty of room to start your own Amazon-bashing site if you get a bit creative.
