inappropriate domain names.
12. Penisland.net
It’s not unusual for anything to be customized, whether it be someone’s name sewn on a jacket
or a business’s name on a coffee mug.
Pens can also be added to that list. There’s even a website that prides itself as being
the only place to buy customized pens. All prospective customers need to do is go to
penisland.net. No, no, it’s not what you think… the name is supposed to read “pen
island”. The least they could’ve done was put an underscore or a dash between ‘pen’
and ‘island’.
The description on the main page says not to be fooled by imposters, one of them having
the name “pen-island.net”. Though it might be an imposter – according to this particular
site, anyway – at least the creators seemed to be aware of it.
11. Dollarsexchange.com
Though it may be boring to some, currency trading can be very lucrative, whether you’re
doing it as a hobby, or decided to make a career out of it.
Either way, the internet has some helpful places to do such trading. One of them is
dollarsexchange.com, which is where you can trade American currency. However, from the
looks of the domain name, it implies that you can also change the gender of the money.
In all actuality, it’s not supposed to read “dollar sex change”, as you’ve probably
guessed already. It’s really supposed to read the name of the now-defunct site, which
is “Dollars Exchange”.
Another case where an underscore or a dash would’ve solved this problem.
10. Teacherstalk.com
Admit it, you had a crush on the teacher at one time or another. But did your puppy love
turn into obsession?
If so, then visit teacherstalk.com! All kidding aside, it’s unclear what this website was
for, though it appears that the domain name was supposed to be “teachers talk”. Maybe
it was a place for teachers to gather and talk about this and that? Furthermore, the
owners of the domain name appear to be selling it, so either they were crazed stalkers who
were no longer obsessed with their teachers, or the teachers who used the site no longer
had time to participate.
And we’re not going to say that there should’ve been “certain punctuation marks” between
‘teachers’ and ‘talk’.
9. Speedofart.com
England-based production designer Nigel Talamo has quite an extensive resume that includes
many commercials. He’s even won awards for some of those commercials.
If you’re interested, you can check out his personal website of speedofart.com. Don’t
worry, we promise that’s what this website is about. It has absolutely nothing to do
with passing gas in tight swimming trunks. Could you imagine a site dedicated to something
like that?
But to digress, it probably would’ve been better to just have Nigel’s name as the
domain name, instead of “speed of art”.
8. Itscrap.com
A business that recycles computers and IT hardware sounds respectable, doesn’t it?
The business, however, says that it’s crap. Wait, what? No, no, it’s not a joke. Their
domain name is itscrap.com… which is supposed to actually be “IT Scrap”. In all fairness,
“it’s crap” wouldn’t be an altogether terrible name. People recycle crap they no
longer want anymore, so why not? Maybe they’re worried about how unprofessional that name
would be for a business.
Fair enough. But if you got a new computer from them, for example, would you tell the
person, “I got my new computer from a site called ‘it’s crap’”? Probably not.
7. Nobjs.com
Websites where you can meet and gather with others who are just like you aren’t uncommon.
They can be helpful to a shy person who might have trouble making friends, or just somebody
who wants to have more friends.
That’s where North of Boston Jewish Singles comes in, which even specifies that they’re
not a dating service despite the misleading name. They also probably could’ve chosen
a much better domain name than nobjs.com. Maybe it was another way for them to make
it clear that their site isn’t for dating.
Either that, or that act just isn’t very common within that group.
6. Gotahoe.com
The large lake and the snow-covered mountains of Lake Tahoe make it a beautiful place to
visit.
For those of you who haven’t been to Lake Tahoe, or would like to plan a trip, just
go to gotahoe.com. Yes, the domain name appears to say “got a hoe”, though all it’s
saying is to “go Tahoe”. It probably could be fixed by adding a ‘to’ between the
‘go’ and ‘Tahoe’. Or, even better, they could just put ‘lake’ in there, but
it wouldn’t sound right.
The tourism site did happen to get a new domain name… “gotahoenorth.com”. Yeah, that
fixed the problem…
5. Lesbocages.com
A bocage is French word that describes an area that is a mix of trees and pastures.
Nothing unusual about that.
With that being said, having the business name “Les Bocages” is a bit of a mistake.
Yes, it’s in proper French, but when those words are slapped together for a domain name,
lesbocages.com, it looks like “lesbo cages”. Obviously nothing to do with Dave Robins being
an arborist, according to the main page of the website.
The website is in French, so we can let the creators of this domain name off the hook
since English probably isn’t their first language.
4. Amigonefuneralhome.com
Funerals are a way for the families and friends of the deceased to bid a final farewell. It’s
usually a sad time for all.
Perhaps the creators of this domain name wanted to help cheer them up a little. The domain
name, amigonefuneralhome.com, seems to have a very interesting message for people who
are looking into using their services. Maybe it’s hard for some people to tell whether
or not they’re really dead. Or maybe it’s true… the funeral home is just looking to
cheer up mourners.
But seriously… Amigone is really the name of the New York-based funeral home, so it
kind of makes you wonder about this one.
3. Childrenslaughter.com
Charities are great, especially those that benefit children. Whether it’s from abuse
or poverty, charities are there.
This particular charity, “Children’s Laughter”, seems innocent enough. However, if you take
a look at the domain name, childrenslaughter.com, doesn’t seem so innocent. It almost sounds
like one of those disturbing websites you would see on the deep web. Really, nobody
wants to see a child being slaughtered like an animal.
As of now, in case you’re interested, the domain name is for sale.
2. Ferrethandjobs.com
There may be many jokes and stereotypes surrounding lawyers, such as how they’re liars and are
the scum of the earth.
Well, that is, until we need one to get us out of trouble. That’s where Michael Ferreth
and William Jobs come in. Unfortunately, their website has the inappropriate – and very
strange – name of ferrethandjobs.com. While it’s only the surnames of the two lawyers,
it still makes us chuckle at the idea of a ferret jerking off, especially when dealing
with the fact that prospective clients may stumble across the website while searching
for legal representation.
According to their website, though, it looks as though co-founder Jobs left the practice.
The new, upcoming domain name – as of now – will be ferrethjobs.com. Much better.
1. Ladrape.com
Rape is obviously no laughing matter, being one of the most heinous crimes out there.
Then we have this domain name, which is ladrape.com. Of course, this reads as “lad rape” instead
of the intended “La Drape”, which is the name of the England-based business. The business
itself offers hotels, cruise ships, and interior designers – to name a few – manufactured
bedspreads and covers.
Strange how a business that specializes in bedspread manufacturing has a domain name
that reads as “lad rape”…
And now for todays question. “What's the weirdest dream you've ever had?” Let us
