This has been floating around for a while, but I saw it at the back of this month’s “Windows IT Professional” (*sigh*).

My previous employer changed its name from “Nephros Therapeutics” to “RenaMed”, which meant that they re-named the company to renamed.com. That company is, shockingly, no longer in business.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg for domain name stupidity. Check these out:

1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is

www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at

www.expertsexchange.com (I’d definitely want an expert.)

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

www.penisland.net (Can I visit?)

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at

www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…

www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales (that’s in Australia):

www.molestationnursery.com (is this affiliated with the Catholic church?)

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always

www.ipanywhere.com (well, almost anywhere)

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is

www.cummingfirst.com (I’m guessing services there are relatively short.)

9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:

www.speedofart.com (hopefully you wait ’til you’re out of the pool)

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at

www.gotahoe.com

OMG I love this bird. And I *hate* cockatoo and cockatiels. I had one as a kid, which apparently had been abused. Somehow I still have all of my fingers, despite the fact that the bird tried to remove them.

TOTH to MadPriest.

Bitchy but funny. :-)
