View Full Version : Misleading site names!
Okay, anyone out there know of a good site, but it has a misleading name? Like:
www.penisland.net
By the sound of the name, you'd think it would be like, an all nude gay beach. But it's not... :watson: Contribute!
Thanks Prae

Funneh.
By the way, it's .net.

I was expecting to see a site about pens.
www.whitehouse.com
I think everyone made a mistake of visiting this site unintentionally at least once.

Hah, discovered the site around '97, '98... I'm pretty sure the website gets decent traffic.

like, say, lemonparty is pretty misleading because there are no lemons.
By the same count, though, google is misleading because it really doesn't leave you expecting a search engine, does it?

There used to be one containing 'Hit Men', I won't type the link because it will possibly scare some of you, but what made it so misleading at the time was the fact that Hit Man the game was released and people wanted to look up cheat codes. Someone found this site and it got circulated as a joke.
People would be like 'I know this awesome cheat site for Hitman' and would send the link, and it would end up being a Gay Porn site.
It freaked me out at the time being I was like 12 or so, but I guess now I really don't care. Anyways, yea it was funny for it's time...now the site is down I think.

Actually, neither does Yahoo, but Google sounds more like a Search Engine than any other.
But if you were to tell someone who knew nothing about it but about the internet and search engines in generaly, possibly 8 out of 10 people would really just be clueless about it.

Common, AltaVista basically *is* a porn site.

Shouldn't that be Come on? Because it makes no sense otherwise.
Psh, AltaVista had its moment in limelight before Google came out of nowhere... It was a decent site for five seconds.

I was going to post www.nice-tits.org, but the site doesn't exist anymore :(
I'll settle for Great Tits (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Tit) instead.

um.........okay, I didn't see a warning label on the thread, but judging from the contents of what people are talking about, I'd better ask before I get myself fired....are these links work-safe?
Everything except for whitehouse.com is safe.

WIN!
Um, there's a disabled organization in Singapore called These Abled People, and have a website with that same address. When you type it into the toolbar it looks like The Sea Bled People.
But it's not pervy so I suppose it's not funny. :(

There is no outpost in sight, let alone nine of them.

Similarly, who knows what to expect from a name like http://www.homestarrunner.com/?
It's not one you're just going to find by accident...
