Boy, did I read that wrong

The other day I saw a commercial for Dell computers. Their new slogan is “Yours is here” (who are the geniuses that come up with this drivel :rolleyes: ) so they created a website called www.yoursishere.com.

My screwed up mind has split the url instead as “Your sis here”. I imagine a site where you find pictures of your sister in compromising positions. Yuck.

Anybody else do this kind of thing?

It’s not hard when there are some doozies out there:

and many many others!

That’s a joke site. Read the text more closely (“Whether you’re looking for a long and skinny pen, a thick pen, a fountain pen that squirts ink, or even a black pen, we have just the one for you.”) and note that there’s no ordering mechanism.

Still funny, though.

Once upon a time an Italian company by the name of PowerGen put their homepage at www.powergenitalia.com, but it seems to have been replaced by an Under Construction page. Ah well.

Damn! I came in with that one tucked under my arm.

Didn’t there used to be www.kidsexchange.com?

I think it was www.expertsexchange.com, though it seems now they’ve wisely added a hyphen.

Another classic is www.therapistfinder.com.

What, take pictures of your sister in compromising positions and put it on the Web? Yeah, dude, she’ll pose for anyone. :wink:

This whole thread is a copy of an episode of QI.

What’s QI?

“Quo Iota?”, or “Who’s counting?”: It’s what APL programmers say when an array is off-by-one.

QI, aka Quite Interesting, is a panel show from the UK. Just a couple of weeks ago they had an episode that addressed most of the website names listed in this thread.

If only people realised just how misleading they can be,its infuriating when you need to get in touch with a rapist quickly and then find yourself talking to some bloody psychologist.

Although if the psychologist is indeed bloody, he could be a rapist, too. That’s worth looking into.

I read things wrong all the time. The prime example is everyday when I walk to the bus stop after work there is this seventh day adventist Chinese church and they have a kids play area for their day care service. It has a big sign that says “DISCOVERYLAND!” in all capital letters like that. It’s the only word on the building (except for seventh day adventist) that is in English. Every time the first thing my brain tells me it says is

Disco Very Land!

Dude, she’s even doing Burt Reynolds and that guy’s like seventy.
