11 Unintentionally Hilarious Domain Names
Published Thursday, June 25, 2009 at 12:01:00 AM
When 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).

11 Points is a collection of exhaustively-researched, meticulously-written, theoretically-humorous 11-item lists, covering topics ranging from TV and movies to the Internet and video games to food and dating to politics and race relations.
It's all written by Sam Greenspan, a Midwest-born, classically-trained journalist who now tries to make a dollar out of 15 cents in Los Angeles. (It's hard to be legit and still pay the rent.)
