Asi salió la noticia en la revista del consumidor de la Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor (PROFECO):
“De acuerdo con la Wikipedia, un dominio de internet es un nombre base que agrupa a un conjunto de equipos o dispositivos y que permite proporcionar nombres de equipo más fácilmente recordables. Pues resulta que en este terreno el estadounidense Chris Clark consiguió un negocio redondo y repleto de queso. En 1994, cuando internet estaba en pañales, Clark pagó 20 dólares por el dominio pizza.com, sin imaginarse que en marzo del 2008 lograría vender el citado dominio en 2.6 millones de dólares en una subasta. Se dice que Clrak y familia celebraron esta venta comiendo pizza.”
