Dodgy domains
A couple of years ago, I treated you to the stories of the ill-thought-out domains getfitta.com and powergenitalia.com
Courtesy of Gavin Esler, presenter of the Beeb’s Newsnight, I can share with you some more of these interestingly named sites.
Imagine for a moment that you want to find out who represents a particular celebrity. Some kind of database of agencies and stars might come in handy. But do you really think anyone would believe that explanation if they saw whorepresents.com in your web history?
A site I use from time to time is Experts Exchange. And yet I’ve never noticed quite how the URL - expertsexchange.com - could be misread.
A busy parent might well need to find a therapist - though maybe not through therapistfinder.com - if they send their child to the Mole Station Native Nursery - molestationnursey.com - and try and recommend it to others through that particular address.
And finally, my personal favourite… Where’s the best place on the web to buy pens? Why, Pen Island of course. Check it out today at penisland.com.
That’s all the puerile fun for today, folks!
