Ever wondered if organisations really think about their web names. This will convince you they don't. WARNING; now might be a good time to go to the toilet.


All of these are legitimate companies dealing in regular products and services, but they didn't think their domain names through. Some of them are prime candidates for the "What was I thinking?" award....ALL these websites actually exist, selling something totally benign (and work-safe, in case you're wondering).

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 whorepresents 
http://www.whorepresents.com/

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can Exchange advice and views at:
http://www.expertsexchange.com/

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

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

5. Then of course, there's the Italian Power Generator company named powergenitalia
http://www.powergenitalia.com/

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, molestationnursery based in New South Wales:
http://www.molestationnursery.com/

7. If you're looking for computer software, there's always: ipanywhere ;
http://www.ipanywhere.com/

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

9. Then, of course, there's these brainless art designers, and Their whacky website: speedofart
http://www.speedofart.com/

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

I must admit I only assembled this, the whacky web names were sent by old colleagues. But as I launched it to UK friends months ago and it has come back to me twice I thought I'd bring it here before everyone has seen it.

LOL...reminds me of something my publisher tried to do a few years back. A promotion for supporting independent publishers called Go Off. However, it read www.gooff.com Unfortunately it folded after a year.
