Companies Who Didn't Choose Their Domain Names Wisely (FUNNY)
Edited on Tue Dec-19-06 03:45 PM by matcom
All of these are legitimate companies that didn't spend quite enough
time considering how their online names might appear and be misread:


(These are not made up. Check them out yourself!)

1. Who Represents is where you can find the name of the agent that
represents any celebrity. Their Web site is www.whorepresents.com.

2. Experts Exchange is a knowledge base where programmers can exchange
advice and views at www.expertsexchange.com.

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at www.penisland.net.

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at www.therapistfinder.com.

5. There's the Italian Power Generator company, www.powergenitalia.com.

6. And don't forget the Mole Station Native Nursery in New South Wales,
www.molestationnursery.com.

7. If you're looking for IP computer software, there's always
www.ipanywhere.com.

8. And the designers at Speed of Art await you at their wacky Web site,
www.speedofart.com.

:rofl:

13. Actually, I'd rather have mofo for a law firm than say cuddlycorp or some such!

4. I leaned the hard way about Dicks Sporting Goods
And that if you're internet shopping at work, you want dickssportinggoods.com and not dicks.com.

Just trust me on this one.
