The most famous of these are fairly well known, such as the URL for Who Represents ([www.whorepresents.com](http://www.whorepresents.com)). There’s a list of some other well-known ones [here](http://independentsources.com/2006/07/12/worst-company-urls/). I found one locally here in the Quad Cities for a towing company named Ince’s. The URL is, yes, [www.incestowing.com](http://www.incestowing.com). Anyone else found some gems among their local business URLs? ---

Hmm…why, when I read that list, do I hear them spoken by Sean Connery? ---

Well, it’s not local, but I noticed recently that Dick’s Sporting Goods finally got [dicks.com](http://dicks.com) away from the porn site that used to own it. Which I only know about because sometimes when I’m shopping for sporting goods, I type faster than I think. ---

Not a company URL, but my company once had an employee whose last name was Nuss, and whose first name began with A. Naturally all company email addresses were in the form of first initial, last name, all lowercase. ---

I just deployed an internal site that contains a custom form called, “Authorization Request for Service”. I created the URL according to the form acronym. Couple of years ago I created a url for the Finance & Accounting Group. yeah… sometimes I’m 12. ---

> [@SpoilerVirgin](#): > > Not a company URL, but my company once had an employee whose last name was Nuss, and whose first name began with A. Naturally all company email addresses were in the form of first initial, last name, all lowercase. You know, everyone always talks about that format with a story of some poor schlub getting a terrible email address but I was envious of the B. Eastman at my last company 😃 ---

There’s a custom pen shop named “Pen Island” who has a horrid URL. Urgh… saw OPs list, there it was. B. Eastman. That’s awesome. Too bad there’s not a “Bob Atman” at the company as well. ---

I worked on a project for [www.mofo.com](http://www.mofo.com/). They seemed quite proud of it, and in conference presentations would say, “Yes, we are MOFO!” ---

Well, there’s Air Systems of Sacramento, which used to have a fleet of trucks with an 80s-ish stylized acronym all over them. Their URL is… aw, boring, [airsystems1.com](http://airsystems1.com). Wonder if that’s new? Not a company, but [www.cincinnatireds.com](http://www.cincinnatireds.com) always catches my eye during games. Where’s Cincinna, and what’s so fatiguing about it? ---

[kidsexchange.net](http://kidsexchange.net), children’s consignment shop. And their physical [sign](http://blog.corporatelogos.ws/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/kidsexchange.jpg) doesn’t make it any clearer. ---
