- dugg4selfesteem, on 06/25/2009, -0/+51Michael, if you would just allow me to take off my acting pants, so to speak, and pull the analrapist stocking over my head...
- Egotrippin, on 06/25/2009, -0/+45"NoBJs.org, the site for women in committed relationships."
Outstanding. - sockpuppets, on 06/25/2009, -4/+44When I come up with an idea for a list, I generally check on Google to make sure either (1) no one's done the list before or (2) if someone's done it, they've done a mediocre job.
This list falls squarely under number two. I'm not the first person to do a list of the most unintentionally hilarious URLs. There's already one so-so list out there. And that list was Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V'ed on no fewer than 500 other websites.
You know that line in "Fight Club" where Ed Norton says that "everything's a copy of a copy of a copy"? Well the list of unintentionally funny domain names, originally done by Independent Sources in 2006, takes that aforementioned simulacrum to a new level.
On one hand, I feel sorry that they were plagiarized so frequently. On the other hand, I feel even sorrier that their list, which now contains many broken URLs, is the one that holds the "funny domain name" mantle.
So today, I have 11 unintentionally funny website names that will, hopefully, let people know that there's more out there than Penisland.net (which, by the way, is an intentionally funny parody site).

- gvoakes, on 06/25/2009, -0/+37Any domain in the Cook Islands will sound unintentionally hilarious

- dhughes, on 06/25/2009, -3/+25'InternelServerError' is a horrible domain name!
- RainStreet, on 06/25/2009, -0/+20Quoth the server, "404."

- CarStan, on 06/25/2009, -1/+16Suck It, Trebek!
- dig412, on 06/25/2009, -0/+13Scroll down. Keep Scrolling. Yet more scrolling.
Right below the category list is the complete thread with answers. It's how they rank so highly on google despite appearing to offer no content for free. - Maxwell1234, on 06/25/2009, -0/+13I've been in the film business for a while but I just can't seem to get one in the can.

- danielrt, on 06/25/2009, -2/+12WhoRepresents.com ---> WhorePresents.com
- ale8oneboy, on 06/25/2009, -0/+10Very funny. One of our local newspapers had registered and advertised "newsexpress.com" as its URL, and quickly changed it to "www.news-expressky.com". School proxy servers kept blocking it. Who would have thought?
- brandmankajan, on 06/25/2009, -0/+9Oh yeah!
- cawfee, on 06/25/2009, -0/+9This is an awesome list.
- FoxFaction, on 06/25/2009, -0/+9If a domain is accessed in the Cook Islands, but no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?
- boozedrinker, on 06/25/2009, -1/+10I'm getting sick of EPIC FAIL. ***** site went down, who gives a *****....it is NOT epic. You people will say anything to fit in.
- JargonScott, on 06/25/2009, -1/+9I made a site for a local preschool. Luckily I paid attention and added a hyphen to tots-lots.org.
- nates, on 06/25/2009, -1/+9Local store in Longmont, Colorado had a sign that said (in bobbing kids-like letters) "KIDSEXCHANGE" for quite a while... I think they are out of business now.
- CrackHappy, on 06/25/2009, -0/+8Site is down, copied sockpuppets below - just so it's higher up in the list:

So that's what the kids are calling it these days...
- wampalord, on 06/25/2009, -0/+7Yes, and you were almost arrested for those business cards.
- jaytek13, on 06/25/2009, -5/+12I don't feel bad that I had to Google "freebase" to get why freebase.com was "hilarious".

or kid sex change .net - jemka, on 06/25/2009, -0/+6It's supposed to be two men. You're just a horny pre-teen.
- str3ama, on 06/25/2009, -0/+6site is down...
wondering if it has
expertsexchange.com which has since changed their name to experts-exchange.com - graemee, on 06/25/2009, -0/+6Opportunity to sell anal bum covers to prison inmates.

- inigomntoya, on 06/25/2009, -0/+5I was sadly disappointed when I thought there was a new Internet company selling sex presses... :(
- shifty2, on 06/25/2009, -0/+5back in the day it was "expertsexchange.com", but most IT companies filter web traffic by key word. so the "sex" part of it would filter it out.
Later on they got a new domain name with the '-'. I'm too lazy to do a WHOIS on expertsexchange.com - Iggins, on 06/25/2009, -1/+6what?
