    Below are real domain names that they should have thought about before setting up. :)

    1) Who Represents? a database for agencies to the rich and famous:
    http://www.whorepresents.com

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

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

    4) Looking for a Therapist? Look no further
    http://www.therapistfinder.com

    5) Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
    http://www.molestationnursery.com

    6) Central Heating for your home anyone?
    http://www.gasheating.co.uk

    7) New in Italy and you need electricity? Why not sign up on-line with Power-Gen?
    http://www.powergenitalia.com/

    Heh, if you check out the titles in those sites, you notice that the admins should know about their little error by now. Who-Represents makes a very careful use of that big "R" in every sentence and Experts-Exchange seems to be gone. :shake:

    That was good :lol:

    Some weren't immediately obvious (to me at least), but for Experts Exchange and Pen Island I'm really surprised no one realised something was wrong with the name BEFORE buying the domain name. They could have added a hyphen to the name and avoided the embarassment.

    Pen Island doesn't really look much like a real business to me either.

    And the Mole Station one redirects you to molerivernursery.com; I wonder why... :hmm: :shake:
