11 Unintentionally Hilarious Domain Names
Posted 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).

Unintentionally: Freebase.com, the online destination when you can't find your crack pipe.
sydneytherapist.com
Officially: SydneyTherapist.com, the website of Tanya Koens, a sex therapist in Sydney, Australia. (No word if she is affiliated with Tobias Funke.)
Unintentionally: SydneyTheRapist.com, home page of a guy named Sydney who just can't stop telling his stories about rapin'! (No word if he is affiliated with Tucker Max.)

blackhatebook.com
Officially: BlackHatEbook.com, a guide to black hat SEO, "the technique of building and promoting a website using unfair, sneaky, sly and underhand tactics which often break search engine guidelines." (Just to stick it to these people, I made their link above a rel="nofollow".)
Unintentionally: BlackHateBook.com, a guide to being a racist, for the rarely-seen literate racist.
oldmanshaven.com
Officially: OldMansHaven.com, cabin rentals in Old Man's Haven near Hocking Hills (Ohio) State Park, home of Old Man's Cave.
Unintentionally: OldManShaven.com, 'cause when they're dragging on the ground, they should be hairless.

Unintentionally: Budget.co.ck, because in this economy, who can afford full-priced cock?

Honorable mention to a few that didn't make my cut or were on that original list I was wailin' on at the top of this list: whorepresents.com, powergenitalia (now defunct), kidsexchange.net, analemma.org, mofo.com and speedofart.com.
