Unfortunate URL's

One of my jobs is buying the many domain names that we use for our various activities.

Something that always lingers at the back of my mind when buying web addresses is the prospect of unintentionally picking up a very unfortunate domain, like these people did.

Want to help people find a therapist or counsellor? Why not set up a website called
www.therapistfinder.com

Sell pens under the name Pen Island? Well your domain has to be
www.penisland.net

Italian battery manufacturer? That'll be
www.powergenitalia.com

Australian native plant nursery based in Mole Station, NSW?
www.molestationnursery.com

A site for programming experts can swap their knowledge?
www.expertsexchange.com

Looking to find an agent who represents a particular celebrity? Do a search at
www.whorepresents.com

Building a website for the First United Methodist Church in Cumming, Georgia? You'd better buy
www.cummingfirst.com

Central heating design service?
www.gasheating.co.uk

Storage company based in Cumbria?
www.cumstore.co.uk
