Bad Domain Names, or "What Was I Thinking??"
June 29, 2006

Posted on 06/29/2006 8:43:40 AM PDT by Dog Gone

These are all registered domain names of legitimate companies or organizations.

Someone should have thought twice.



1). A site called 'Who represents' where you can find the name of The agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name is: www.whorepresents.com

2). 'Experts Exchange', 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). 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: www.molestationnursery.com

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

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

9). Then, of course, there's these brainless art designers, and their
wacky website: www.speedofart.com

10). Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at:
www.gotahoe.com

My wife's aunts wanted to start up a website to hock the jams and preserves they were making on the family farm.

They wanted some variant of "farmersdaughters". Um, now you don't...

Considering what agents are like, #1 is actually what we call "truth in advertising."

The PowerGen Italia is an Urban Legend. Here is a link on Snopes.com that explains it.

Speedofart! lol

Even General Motors is subject to mistakes like this. In the 70's they could not figure out why an American favorite like the Chevy Nova was not selling South of the border.

Then one person told them that "Nova" was Spanish for "It does not go."

I used Whois.sc’s Domain Explorer function to find all registered names that ended in “sexechange.com”. There were dozens that were obviously meant to have meanings other sex change. But, the owners must have figured out the problems with them because about all are not in use. These are names like:

Comics Exchange.com (ComicSexChange.com)
VeteransExchange.com (VeteranSexChange.com)
MusiciansExchange.com (MusicianSexChange.com)
ActorsExchange.com (ActorSexChange.com)
ExoticsExchange.com (ExoticSexChange.com)
GraphicsExchange.com (GraphicSexChange.com)
HomesExchange.com (HomeSexChange.com)
KidsExchange.com (KidSexChange.com)
MomsExchange.com (MomSexChange.com)
PlayersExchange (PlayerSexChange.com)
WomensExchange.com (WomenSexChange.com)
StudentsExchange.com (StudentSexChange.com)

Snopes, not that I find them particularly reliable, confirms that it is the domain name of an Italian battery company called Powergen Italia.
