Most Outrageous Website URLs
If you´re launching a travel website for Spain, of course it makes sense to name it Choose Spain. Until, that is, you register the URL and realize that you´re the proud new owner of the apparently masochistic website “www.ChoosesPain.com.”
The Internet is full of these well-intentioned yet often wildly unfortunate website names. And now they´re featured together in a new book that lists more than 150 of the Web´s most accidentally outrageous, amusing and potentially offensive Web addresses.
“The people who chose the URLs saw spaces in certain places, but everyone else is seeing them in different places,” said Andy Geldman, author of “Slurls: They Called Their Website WHAT?!” “It´s only when the words run together that your mind chops them up. When you look at the URL it´s not necessarily the way they intended.”
