Not necessarily, the site seems to be rather popular, they can make bank off of ad revenue.

I mean, I found most of their videos to be hilarious/awesome hilariously awesome, but Three Amigos is in my top few movies of all-time, so maybe it's just the absurdity. I don't know how much you can get from ad revenue, but it seems like their name being such a hit driver would mean they'll do okay in the long haul. Would be a waste of money for the Charlotte ball club anyway with the inevitable name change.

Can you imagine this happening to any other NBA franchise? Kind of pathetic, although kudos to the guys for such a hilarious prank.

why on earth did the bobcats announce their name suggestions before they registered the domain names? that seems like a major blunder.

Fits this team's MO perfectly. Blunders is what Bobcats basketball is all about.
