Morg from Dublin flags up a very 21st-century problem:
Why do people who set up websites not sit back and have a think about the URL first….:
www.muffdivingclub.ie (don’t worry it’s safe for work).
Is this not a case of false advertising?
What are the worst URLs you have seen?
Readers, head to the comments and amuse us with your own sightings of unfortunate URLs. Ones that link to actual muff-diving do not count.

The British Association of Plastic Surgeons used to have a website of:
http://www.baps.co.uk
That URL does still work but it now immediately redirects to:
http://www.bapras.org.uk
So they’ve gone to the trouple to completely rename themselves to the British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons.

Alreet, there’s a few I remember. A company called Pen Island selling stationary opted for the wonderous http://www.penisland.com.
http://www.expertsexchange.com is now renamed with the appropriate hypenage experts-exchange.
And I’m told that when powergen entered the Italian energy Market, they launched http://www.powergenitalia.com which whilst remains unconfirmed, I truly hope is true.
