For those who don't remember Donda, it was Kanye West's media company, born from a fever dream, set out to change the world with the help of "doctors, lawyers, teachers, tech guys, app guys, and nutritionists".

Guy: Do you like fish sticks?

Kanye: Love em

seems like this is just a whois lookup? am i missing something?

You are not.

Nope you're not. Lame.

Looks like theres also fake whois info ?

http://whodat.biz/#google.com

Server Name: GOOGLE.COM.ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.LOVE.AND.TOLERANCE.THE-WONDERBOLTS.COM

Server Name: GOOGLE.COM.PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENIS.COM

Server Name: GOOGLE.COM.HAS.LESS.FREE.PORN.IN.ITS.SEARCH.ENGINE.THAN.SECZY.COM

etc.. Or is that normal?

that is normal. they are literally showing whois information.

http://whodat.biz/#google.com ; interesting.

All signs here point to this being a huge prank. The site was registered 2 days ago. Dondamedia.com was registered yesterday. Plus the gmail they use doesn't match up with the e-mail kanye tweeted during his rant (DONDAMEDIA@GMAIL.COM vs contactDONDA@gmail.com ).

Look at their timeline they claim its just a beta, but its basically a whois with too much type which hinders usability.

This is some strange joke.. right?

My favorite part is a wrapper div in the HTML that has the id "avail_rapper".

I'm confused

Nothing to be confused about. Kanye's mouth wrote a big check they obviously can't cash. Can't wait to see the other disruptive things that are sure to come out of Donda, maybe next they will setup a Big Cartel store and tell us its the new e-commerce.
